Welcome to Properties in Corfu, we are a newly established Estate Agent with a

So you have nothing to loose by advertising with Properties in Corfu.

Many Europeans are looking for holiday homes or permanent residences within Greece, with our knowledge and experience we can assist and advise with the purchase of your dream home on this beautiful Island, enabling a smooth sale and avoiding some of the problems that can arise with the purchase of a foreign property.

Properties in Corfu have a strong interest and specialize in, selling and restoring
old properties on Corfu, bringing life back to the old villages. We have experience
in restoration and can advise on suitable properties for renovation. There are
advantages in buying an old property, plans and planning permission are often
simpler plus the government offer large reductions on the purchase tax.
Costs
As a buyer, there are various costs that are incurred. As the agents for the sale,
we charge a fee of 2½%. The lawyers also charge a percentage, but this varies with
each individual case depending on the complexities involved. The Notary will also
charge a percentage of the tax value of the property, normally 2%.
The tax value of a property often bears no resemblance to the actual 'purchase value'.
It is simply a figure set by the tax office here in Corfu of what they consider the
land to be worth. This will vary depending on the size of the land, the ' build ability' ,
the size and age of any buildings constructed within it, and it's proximity to the coast.
As a purchaser you will be required to pay a percentage of the tax value, but again
this figure varies with each individual case. If there is a property that you are
interested in, often we can make enquiries to get a rough estimate as to what this
figure might be.
