Our clients’ testimonials

“In May 2009 Paul & I came over to Crete to look for a holiday home. We fell in love with the area of Tavronitis- Kolimbari area after having numerous holidays over the years. One evening in the local Taverna we were talking to Thanis & family about looking for a holiday home, they told us they knew a local builder who would show us some properties. The next day they took us to meet Mr Kiriakos & Elena at Minoan Homes.  They took time in asking us what we wanted where etc. They then took us to see some properties. Instantly we fell in love with Skoutelonas. But then had the hard problem on which property to go for. The 2 bedroom bungalow or the 2 bedroom house. We were given plenty of time to look around the property & take photos. The following day we called back at the office to arrange another visit. Elena & Mr Kiriakos dropped everything and took us to the properties. We took several more photos. As we were looking at other properties we had informed Elena that we would be going home to the U.K. to make a decision. We asked if it was possible to buy the house from the U.K. without having to return. We were assured YES it is possible. So, home we went. After a sleepless night trying to decide which property had everything that we wanted. We both decided Church Lane was the one for us. I e-mailed Elena the following morning to say we would like the house. The whole buying process was done from the UK.  Elena kept us up to date with the procedure e-mailing & phoning regularly to inform us of the progress. The Crete Lawyer also kept us up to date with all aspects of the buying, transferring of funds etc. At no point did we ever feel that we didn’t know what was happening. Every step of the way I was sent photos of doors to choose, floors to choose, Kitchens to choose. All very clear in detail. I couldn’t believe how easy it was. We were informed of how many days it would take to finish the house to our requirements. It was finished in less. When we were given the finishing date we booked a plane out straight away as we couldn’t wait to see our new holiday home. As we had an early flight I wasn’t sure if anyone would be about to give us keys for the house. I didn’t need to worry Mr Kiriakos was at the house waiting for us. There were even groceries waiting. Paul and I have been pleased with the quality of work in our home and the dedication shown by all the staff at Minoan Homes is fantastic. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. If anyone has seen the Minoan Home that they would like to buy but for some reason cannot make it over to Crete I can assure you it is so easy to do it from the UK.”
