KorsanKalkan

Our experience includes the restoration and renovation of old Greek houses in the heart of the village. Buying an old property can involve more legal complications than buying a newly built property. Old buildings are often owned by a number of people in one family and have, more often than not, been left in a will to be divided amongst siblings. These situations then call for careful negotiation to ensure all family members are in agreement and satisfied with the terms of the sale.

Older buildings often have historical value attached to them and, therefore, any restoration or modernization has to be carried out in line with the requirements of the Department of National Heritage and those of the local authority.

We have very successfully completed a number of projects in this very specialist field.

The Ivy House
The Ivy House is a first degree protected house in Kalkan's old quarter. We were required by national heritage rules to preserve the original façade of the house making this project an extremely challenging undertaking.
The restoration project involved the construction of a steel frame within the original walls and was the first of its kind in the area. The project was successfully completed on time and to budget and to the satisfaction of our client and the Department of National Heritage.
As part of our "aftercare" service we successfully negotiated a contract with a UK tour operator on behalf of our client and continue to manage and maintain the property for them. Please look at our Picture Gallery for more images.

Kate's House
Kate's House involved a particularly complicated purchase process as the house was owned by what seemed like half the inhabitants of Kalkan! The case was unique in that its success depended on a huge degree of trust between the buyer of the property and us, the Agent. The situation required the entire purchase money to be paid up-front in order to pay the many house owners their individual share of the purchase price.

This very old Greek house was renovated and extended with all its original features restored and has subsequently been featured in The Sunday Times and at present there is interest to open the house to the public as an art gallery. Please look at our Picture Gallery for more images.
