SOME STEPS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION....

BRITISH AIRWAYS have announced that from May 2007 they will be flying direct to Corfu from Gatwick 3 days a week. Last year they began direct flights to Crete and Rhodes and we can only hope that these initial flights to Corfu will be well-subscribed, and might encourage them to consider a 'year round' schedule. Full details from www.ba.com. MORTGAGES are becoming increasingly more available for property in Greece. Previously there was a wide choice of finance available for France & Spain, but buyers in Greece often had to release equity in their UK homes rather than raise finance for greek property. Mortgage lenders are mainly banks, who will lend up to 80% of the value of a property, or 70% for land. Period of the mortgage is up to 25 years (up to age 65 of the borrower) They will also consider interest-only for a period of up to 2 years. At present they require proof of income, and are not keen to consider the rental potential of the property as income. If you would like more information, please email us at info@corfuhomefinders.com. CURRENCY EXCHANGE is a major issue when you buy your property and transfer funds for the purchase. A recent Sunday Times financial article has concluded that it is possible to have a variation of up to £3,000 in the transfer of £100,000 through various banks, financial instituations and currency exchange specialists, with considerable differences in rates and commissions.
