Drapanias,Crete, from£115,400CURRENTLY on the market inDrapanias, Western Crete, is aselection of two and three bedroom,detached properties, from new-buildspecialists Snobby Homes.

Set within a typically-exotic,Mediterranean walled garden, thehomes are built for privacy and allcome complete with landscapedgardens. There is also space for aswimming pool and sun terraces.

Inside, all properties are qualitybuilt, with solar water heating andair conditioning as standard. Allkitchens are fully fitted withintegrated appliances and there isalso a useful storage room in all thevillas. Traditional Cretan featuresare built in to the design and includeexposed, vaulted, wooden-beamedceilings, attractive arches and stonefeatures.

Drapanias is a traditional villagein western Crete, just 10 minutesfrom the old Roman market town ofKissamos. The Snobby developmentis set quietly, amidst olive groves,beside a small village church.Within a few moments stroll, thevillage square has a mini-market,tavernas and a baker.

A pleasant 15-minute walkthrough the olive groves, or threeminutes by car, brings you to asecluded beach, fringed byTamarind trees, with spectacularviews across to the Rotherpou andGramvousa Peninsulars.

According to director of Snobby

Homes, Mike Saunders, buyingdirect from the builder rather thanthrough an estate agent could savethe buyer a 2% commission charge.He explains, “Many UK buyersvisiting the country to purchase a

new home don’t realise that, unlessyou buy direct from the builder,buyers in Crete incur a 2%commission charged by the estateagent on top of all the other taxes,legal fees and notary costs.”

This means that a two bedroomdetached property on the market foraround £94,959 could end up costingaround £109,906 when you factor inall the purchase costs.

Snobby Homes charge an

all-inclusive price which includes alltaxes, legal fees and even furniture.■ For more information contactSnobby Homes atwww.snobbyhomes.co.uk ortelephone 0844 774 8710.
