Ironically, the Global Economic Trough which is affecting us, has engendered a flipside on our verdant island.  

Before the reality of this financial correction permeated into our Corfu, prices being asked for new and old properties alike were creeping-and not always only creeping-ever higher.

But things are changing, and at that fairly rapidly. Although some islanders are still stubbornly holding out for ‘top dollar’-and indeed some can afford to,  there is a growing realization that if there is a genuine desire to sell, something must give i.e.  the PRICE.

So we now have a situation whereby truly exceptional opportunities are appearing on the market, especially amongst the lower-priced properties.

Several character cottages in character villages are well-worth the effort in   exploring and appear here on our ‘featured property’ section. Some need renovation works before they can be inhabited, yet some others are ready to live in, albeit they require a certain amount of work to bring them up to scratch.

We can show you a selection of such opportunities when you come over, and lead you through the process to secure the property in your name. Each step of the way we will explain procedures and more importantly costs. When you have completed purchase we can handle any rebuilding, renovation or minor works which may be required.

The most important aspect for us is to retain what we already have, a sound reputation in an Island-wide industry that does not always give precedence to its customers. We do not wish this to sound boastful, we merely wish to impress on prospective buyers the importance of obtaining references from any firms , such as ourselves, BEFORE enlisting their services.

With this in mind we encourage you to take up references with our existing customers to find out what other people have thought of the way we operate.  It always amazes us how few people take a simple step such as this, which could save disappointment and heartache along the way.

We have been building and re-building in Corfu since 1990.
