Welcome to our website! T his site has been remodelled and re-released as of February 2011. As the holiday season approaches, Corfu will hopefully be seeing many visitors, some new and some regulars. This period always inspires many to consider relocating here and perhaps building their own home.This seemed like a good time to update the site.
For most, this will be a new experience in any country. It was for us! There can be many pitfalls for the unwary, particularly if you are considering building in a foreign country where perhaps your knowledge of the language and regulations is, dare we say, weak! To add to this, if you have never undertaken such a project, we guarantee that there will be issues that you never considered. Looking back on our experiences, we can’t believe how naive we were!
So there we are! Within these pages, we hope to give an insight into the agony and the ecstasy experienced during the building of our house in Corfu. As I have intimated, we undertook the project with no building experience whatsoever. Hopefully there will be information here that others who are considering embarking on similar projects may find useful. The first couple of pages may seem a lot of text. Stick with it! There are plenty of pictures soon afterwards!
