Prestigious IONIAN PROPERTIES

Piers Williams and his firm, Ionian International, have provided professional advice to my family over the past 14 years in relation to both the acquisition and valuation of property in the Ionian. He has acted for us on a number of occasions and has always been trustworthy, consistently knowledgeable, responsive and professional and I look forward to continuing to work with him in the future.

“I have spent several years looking into buying land and building in NE Corfu and have now happily finished our dream project.

There are many pitfalls in Corfu and the opportunities to fall into them are numerous. But, Piers has been invaluable to me and helped me to arrive at the right destination knowing the area extremely well. If you are seriously looking at real estate in North East Corfu he is totally trustworthy, transparent and incredibly helpful. His knowledge of the area, the people and the environment for a foreign buyer is unrivalled. I would happily recommend him to anyone thinking of purchasing or building on Corfu.

I first met Piers Williams in April 2006 when I arranged to view a property in Corfu, at very short notice. Notwithstanding the difficult timing, he took a great deal of trouble to show us several properties up and down the North East and we made an offer the same day on the property which we had originally come to view.

The transaction was very protracted owing to the size of the property, the complex title and various other factors. Piers worked very patiently to disentangle the various impediments, negotiated with both the elderly owner and her lawyer and gradually cleared the way to a completion. This included arranging the removals for the vendor.

Since that time, Piers has kept in touch offering us opportunities for further investment on the island as well as offering advice on strategy for the development of our properties. Specifically, he recommended an agent who negotiated the sale of our Athens flat on very good terms.

He has demonstrated detailed knowledge of the property market in Greece and a wide knowledge of who and what is involved. In Greece, this requires the ability to work within a very ‘tight’ society in which transactions are rarely straightforward, and where a greater than usual political skill and patience is required. Piers has managed to retain a reputation for probity and to remain on good terms with everybody there.

His local knowledge and connections on the island were key in ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Most importantly we have found Piers to be an honest and trustworthy individual, who handled all matters on our behalf with the utmost discretion. We know that if we ever wanted to purchase a property on the island, he would be the best person to go to for this very reason. The fact that his contacts and knowledge are second to none is also a bonus

I have known Piers Williams for the past 15 years and he has helped me expertly with my various property projects in Paxos. I have found Piers to be knowledgeable and experienced with luxury property throughout the Ionian. He is trustworthy, professional and has an excellent reputation. I would not hesitate in recommending him.

Piers was recommended by a close friend as the person to help us find a seafront property in Corfu. He quickly grasped our brief, understanding our key requirements. The service was very personalised, confidential and discreet. We were impressed that he could conduct meetings with us either in Corfu or in London. Piers was able to present to us several exclusive off-market seafront opportunities; it was clear his knowledge of the area and market was second to none. He found us our ideal property, negotiated the deal and held our hands throughout the entire process.

Piers has been on hand to advise, acting in a pivotal role to coordinate our project for renovating the villa and enhancing the landscaping. He has also helped hire key personnel to aid with the day to day running of the property.

It is clear to us that Piers has excellent connections on the island and is well respected amongst the local community. Piers made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Piers and his way of conducting business to anyone considering buying property in Corfu.
