Corfu Real Estate Guide

Owning a property abroad, whether in Greece or anywhere for that matter, is an important decision and mistakes will be costly. The very principles, problems, and decisions to be made are applicable to owning a property, or second home in any country. The same care and proceedings you would use in your home country, concerning real estate, should be exercised here in Greece. By reading this guide, you are doing the right thing - research - before you commit any finances.

With the distances involved, you will find you will need and rely on more people than you expected. We offer some recommendations.

Recently, a new way of owning a modern property on Corfu has opened up. Buying 'off plan' gives you a villa, completed to your demanding specifications, without the pain and problems of building it yourself. A local architect and his team will build your dream home.
