If only all the houses were like these ones. They are even properly insulated which saves money for warmth and cooling. Affordable housing unlike London where a somewhat normal house is like 700k pounds and you get squeaky floorboards and moldy walls because of crappy insulation. Such a positive contrast. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching! 💙 We're familiar with the UK houses. It's one of the reasons why we left. The prices are insane, and there is no price-quality balance.
One notice to be aware... in Greece you can not place anything in your Plot without license from city planning commission (It is not so easy as they told , you buy it you place it and just you cant have electricity - connection to the Grid) . If you place anything without a license you will get fined (not once..) and will be demolitioned. You can not place not even a container to store things if it is not up on tractor with license plate. Lot of Greeks own a small plot in a areas not in a constructible zone (constructible zone = areas that goverment permit to take license to build) not following the law and build houses without permissions but is always a big risk
Thank you for your advice 🙏 ☺️. We will gather more information, and we will talk to lawyers, constructors and people have knowledge and expertise in this field to get a bigger idea about this. 💙💙
As a Greek I want to thank you for your beautiful videos for our island.. I I am very proud that people from other countries choose kriti to be the land of there dreams..

u can build them as "mobilehome" and u can pit them on normal land. i heared from someone who uses several mobilehomes that if u have electricity and water and sewage u are allows to connect them since a few years and he has 6 mobilehomes for rent with all connected.
No you cannot, once a ''mobile home'' is connected to electric / sewage system its considered a structure. The term mobile home is not ''recognized'' legislation wise.
If his site has customer reviews, talk to one of them and visit the home to see how it actually works. It looks like a serious business and the prices are a big surprise, personally I would buy such a house of 55-60 sq.m with my own plans. It probably cost 25000 euros but I think it's still very cheap. Also consider buying land, which I know will cost more than the house. I wish you make the best choice, good luck!
Thank you! 🙏Yes, it still turns out cheaper compared to a normal house. We would much rather prefer this instead of an apartment. Are you looking for a similar house in Greece or in another country?

Thanks for watching!🙏 We were referring to the first house we entered in, the A shaped one. That one didn't have an AC, that's why we were so surprised. We expected it to feel much hotter inside.

Volumetric prefabrication is part of the future, you guys. It is part of the so-called circular economy. However, please make sure that whatever you are going for abides by the seismic structural codes of Greece (which is the Structural codes of Europe, as well (name Eurocodes), with some amendments); from what Mr. Giorgos mentioned, I did not quite get how these systems resists seismic forces, because -- expect if they are on wheel (which again will receive seismic forces in at least one direction) -- they will still receive seismic base shear (σεισμική τέμνουσα βάσης (in Greek)), which will eventually introduce seismic forces in all possible levels (storeys). So, I do not think that saying that these systems will slide on the ground is very accurate, but I guess the Structural Engineer of Mr. Giorgos' business might be able to provide some more details as to how safely and efficiently the structural system of these prefabricated houses withstand seismic loads. I am noting that I am not questioning the systems - I am just saying that you need to investigate to get a response from an engineer. I am pretty confident that Mr. Giorgos will have the relevant documentation and/or certification. But just go for it, guys. Seismic forces in Greece is THE dominant design forces for all buildings, and earthquakes are THE natural hazard that REALLY CAUSE damage to buildings (and in many cases results in human casualties)! Earthquakes in not a joke! Seismic regions is a totally different reality from the UK; a totally different animal that should not be underestimated by any means!!! All the best with your journey in settling down well in Greece, you guys.
The house at 2.30 would be great, but the roof angle should only start at the top and the ground floor should still have straight walls. That would make the interior seem much larger.
This is incredibly interesting! Can you provide the links to the websites of these companies/individuals? I would really like to get something like that.
Thank you for watching! 🙏 We're glad you liked it! We shared his details in our community Facebook group here(he doesn't have a website): facebook.com/share/cfc13gmAeBQGWkKb/

In my opinion it would be great if we thought of places (not only in Greece) as places to live and enjoy and not as places to create airbnbs. I was disappointed hearing one or two times in the video that these houses are good for airbnb. Of course airbnb is real, is everywhere, and it has been a solution for many people (owners or visitors), but it does affect the authenticity of a place, the availability of houses for rent as well as increases the prices and makes them unaffordable for locals or people who need/want to move there for work (this is unfortunately a common problem in various areas in Greece, especially islands). Thanks for the info shared though, because these houses look like a really good solution in cases that building is not possible/affordable. :)
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts! 💙 We're actually considering something like this for a home, as they are more affordable and very convenient for us. We were referring to the small houses in particular (under 30 square meters) that they would make great Airbnbs. I think that for living in a house like this for long term, a bit of extra space would be needed. That can also be achieved with a prefabricated house, but the ones available to see were all under 30 sm. So probably that's why we said it multiple times.😅
The only thing to consider would be the S.I.P panel insulation, off gasing V.O.C's (volatile organic compound's). Great concept, I would build a small traditional home instead.
thank you! my family often watch your videos and we really like your style, which is real, relaxed and natural. we want to buy a piece of land in Ikaria and build few small houses. Do you know the situation there? I hope you can introduce more about the procedures and issues that need to be paid attention to when buying land, farms and building houses. Thank you !.
Thank you for watching and for the kind words! 🙏 💙 We're glad you're enjoying our videos! We don't know much about Ikaria, other that it's an island. But as we're also researching for ourselves, we'll share more details here on the channel about buying land/ property here in Crete .
Greetings from Greece. Actually my mom’s friend was talking about these and she couldn’t believe the price is so cheap. 🤣 we have Airbnbs here and thought of trying one. 🤷🏻♂️
@@Sunpire Yes indeed it’s a great investment because you can get a return on your money very quickly especially in the islands. 👌🏻I’m near Athens airport so it’s slightly different here but I’m sure there’s opportunities here with €100 and €200 per night for tiny old studios.
I would be skeptical of the prices you're giving us. The price for a similar sized A-frame from a kit would be at least 30k. More if you live on an island. Probably not the best design for a hot climate....
We understand, and it's good to be sceptical in everything. We are just presenting the facts like they were presented to us, nothing more, nothing less. A follow-up episode will come on this topic to explain maybe more and see if everything is real. Everyone should be sceptical and make their own research to be sure of every detail! 🙏👍🏻💙
Hello, thank you very much 💙💙🙏🙏🤗🤗. In the description is a link to our Facebook community group where you can find more details for prefabricated houses. 💙💙🙏🙏
can you provide us more details of the constructure company, a telophone, or a site to contact with them i want to buy a house like this. You are like a wish for me. Thanks a lot
Hello, the details of the builder are on our facebook group facebook.com/groups/1578269939631408/?ref=share . More videos are coming with prefabricated
i see you entertain a lot the Airbnb idea, so i'd suggest you consider some things like a pool (i think you wont rent anything that doesnt have a pool), some kind of view or open area that the guest dont see an other house wall when they open their door, 2 beds is good idea (so at least 3 guests) so that you can be open to families too and not only couples or 2 friends(especially if you decide to buy the plot in a rural area and not in the city)... So if you get the plot in a city you wont need the pool, you can make it smaller, and the view is not so crucial but the price of the plot goes up, if you decide rural then pool is a must, view is also a must, and bigger is better... So the money you give for the view-pool u could "trade" for the plot in the city, which has the advantage of being able to also rent it to locals on a long term rent, and not limit your self on an airbnb. Plus the plot in the city never looses value, it only goes up! Now the trailer idea i dont entertain at all, dont do it :P So my advise is to heavily invest in the plot more than anything else!
Thank you very much 😊💙💙🙏. He doesn’t have a website, but I'm happy to share his details over email. Please send us an email, and I'll send the details over.
Thank you for watching!🙏 we shared more details in our Facebook community group here: facebook.com/share/cfc13gmAeBQGWkKb/ It's about 30 mins away from Chania.
Very nice and cheap idea. Everybody can afford a house like this! For a young couple who wants to save some money, for Airbnb to rent or even for retired people who want a nice house for some months in year. You can buy also land near the water for "small" money and have your Summer house for holidays I´m sure a lot of peolple in Greece would buy somethin like this if they knew it exists.
Thank you for your content, we are considering retirement in Crete. Could you please provide me with the contact information of the contractor or builder for these prefab homes? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Hello guy's. Price's is very good, BUT. If you want to buy something like this search for civil engineer because Greek law's about this house's is confused about where you can put it and if they give you water electricity etc
Are they earthquake safe though? Earthquakes in Greece happen quite often, and although strong ones (6,7,8 magnitude) are rare, they do happen. That's why all traditionally built (not prefab) buildings in Greece are made with concrete reinforced with steel bars. This one's walls look too thin and I have doubts.
I know, It scratches our ears too!🤣 it's so difficult to get rid of it! We're working on our English, hopefully it will get better! Thanks for watching!🙏
When we visited, outside was 33 ° C, and inside was really nice and cool without aircon. I think if you choose a thicker isolation is not different than a normal house😊
Thank you for watching!🙏 Iorgos doesn't have a website, but we shared his contact information in our Facebook community group here: facebook.com/share/cfc13gmAeBQGWkKb/
@@Sunpire Not everyone has a Facebook account, if you could kindly share his company/name, it would be helpful for everyone! Thanks for the video and keep up the good work!
@@Sunpire what slus5019 said -and more specifically to what Greeks often do when we don't know exactly the English word for something - we pick the standard Greek word and change a little bit of it at the ending so that it sounds English! 😆 His English was very good regardless, it's just funny to take the piss out of it when it happens
@@Sunpire It depends were you want to put it. If you want inside a city land gonna be expensive. If you go outside in some close village, land can get much cheaper or very cheap depending how far you want to go 😂. Most people that I know in greece put these kind of homes in more rural lands outside cities were land is cheaper. In an expensive land these kinds of home I think are not very efficient as investment since its more advisable to make much more level home and cover the whole building permit-allowance. This breaks down the cost per square meter less. By the way you must ask how much the cost of papers are. The legal way i think is with building permit which is not very cheap.... Other ways i think are not fully legal, they include a lot of "ifs", example "on wheels" etc
Thank you for the information! Probably if you're looking into this kind of houses you can only afford a plot in a rural area. Which I wouldn't mind at all! I would love a house like this in a village 💙
10K and 15K for these prefabricated houses in Greece.....i don't think the information you give or this guy gave you are accurate. These houses usually cost at least 40K and believe me i know really good because i supply these kind of constructors. Give us some more info about the name of this "constructor" that you found because to me it looks like a SCAM !
@@BafSBuNNy as a Greek, i can confirm that 10k is not realistic. It most probably does not include foundation, architect cost, licenses etc etc. I believe it is just the cost of the walls and ceiling, meaning without it being assembled and maybe even without windows and floor... I myself did ask 4 years ago a company in Greece for a prefab home of 100²m, single floor, cheapest isolation which included all except land and foundation and it did cost approximately 110.000. Not sure anymore about the exact number of cheap version but 110k minimum.
The fb page of the construction guy is down and the price seems way to good to be true since ive researched it a bit due to having an interest in starting a business related to tourism in a certain ionian Island.
Thank you for watching!😊 probably everyone is trying to reach him, so that's why it doesn't work. It's not a huge company. He is a local builder, so this is also reflected in the price. But everyone should do their own research and decide to work with who's best for them.
If someone would decide to build a traditional house, they would still have to pay for all of the above, it's still a more affordable option for some people.
I hope you will learn to work together, not interrupt each other, not both speak together, not speak over the other - all these make you amateurs and to grow your channel you need better presentation skills
Thank you very much for watching us, and we really appreciate this advice, we love this honest feedback that will help us grow 🙏🙏💙💙. We are amateurs 🤣🤣🤣 and most of the times we don't even know what we are doing 😂😂😂, but we adapt to the situation and try to make the best out of it 🤗💙

Your videos are organic and unscripted, you play it by ears: these are all clear. Yes, everyone has to start somewhere. My sincere and objective comments are about your conversations and interactions. It's easy to improve these areas with mindfulness. Peace 🤗💙
There is no shame in not affording a "proper" house or considering these prefab houses. It's totally ok if it's not for you, but for some people, this is a great solution!
@@Sunpire I agree with you...... There is not shame at all !!! And I welcome any sort of solution that works.... I still believe that we should fight altogether for our rights, HIGHER salaries and decent purchase power for the young rather than be content with a plastic shelter and projecting it in our mind as a "house"

If you're curios about the contact of both providers (Iorgos from this episode, and the company from the one coming up) of the prefabricated houses we visited here in Crete, I posted the links in our community Facebook group. Join here➡
facebook.com/groups/1578269939631408
why dont you post your links here? do we need to be expats to find out who is the builder?
Thank you for your useful information. I love your videos . I just joined your fb community. Waiting for acceptance 🙏♥️
In my opinion it would be great if we thought of places (not only in Greece) as places to live and enjoy and not as places to create airbnbs. I was disappointed hearing one or two times in the video that these houses are good for airbnb. Of course airbnb is real, is everywhere, and it has been a solution for many people (owners or visitors), but it does affect the authenticity of a place, the availability of houses for rent as well as increases the prices and makes them unaffordable for locals or people who need/want to move there for work (this is unfortunately a common problem in various areas in Greece, especially islands). Thanks for the info shared though, because these houses look like a really good solution in cases that building is not possible/affordable. :)
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts! 💙
We're actually considering something like this for a home, as they are more affordable and very convenient for us.
We were referring to the small houses in particular (under 30 square meters) that they would make great Airbnbs. I think that for living in a house like this for long term, a bit of extra space would be needed. That can also be achieved with a prefabricated house, but the ones available to see were all under 30 sm. So probably that's why we said it multiple times.😅
@@Sunpire I really appreciate you took the time to reply. Thanks a lot :)
@@AthenBerlin no problem, we love replying to comments 💙💙
Did you put a link for the this place? Im very curious to see more from this houses
Hi! Thank you for watching! We shered Iorgos details here⬇️

The only thing to consider would be the S.I.P panel insulation, off gasing V.O.C's (volatile organic compound's).
Great concept, I would build a small traditional home instead.
Thank you for watching and for the information! 🙏
Where are you watching us from?😊
@@Sunpire I'm Greek from Canada looking to relocate to Greece.
Always a pleasure watching your videos. Thanks!
Thank you so much! We're glad to hear that!💙🙏
How do you mean ? Can you elaborate on your concerns and observations regarding the downsides of such ready made homes as seen in the video ?
Gypsum board is not insulation.
That one is not for insulation. It's to finish the walls and paint them.
thank you! my family often watch your videos and we really like your style, which is real, relaxed and natural. we want to buy a piece of land in Ikaria and build few small houses. Do you know the situation there? I hope you can introduce more about the procedures and issues that need to be paid attention to when buying land, farms and building houses. Thank you !.
Thank you for watching and for the kind words! 🙏 💙 We're glad you're enjoying our videos!
We don't know much about Ikaria, other that it's an island.
But as we're also researching for ourselves, we'll share more details here on the channel about buying land/ property here in Crete .

Greetings from Greece. Actually my mom’s friend was talking about these and she couldn’t believe the price is so cheap. 🤣 we have Airbnbs here and thought of trying one. 🤷🏻♂️
Greetings my friend, and thank you for watching us 💙🙏🤗. Very affordable solution, right?
@@Sunpire Yes indeed it’s a great investment because you can get a return on your money very quickly especially in the islands. 👌🏻I’m near Athens airport so it’s slightly different here but I’m sure there’s opportunities here with €100 and €200 per night for tiny old studios.
how to get intouch with that man that builds the small houses?
We shared his details here⬇️
facebook.com/share/cfc13gmAeBQGWkKb/
what about the access to water, electricity and internet?
From what we understand, they can be contacted like for a normal house
I would be skeptical of the prices you're giving us. The price for a similar sized A-frame from a kit would be at least 30k. More if you live on an island. Probably not the best design for a hot climate....
We understand, and it's good to be sceptical in everything. We are just presenting the facts like they were presented to us, nothing more, nothing less. A follow-up episode will come on this topic to explain maybe more and see if everything is real. Everyone should be sceptical and make their own research to be sure of every detail! 🙏👍🏻💙
I really enjoy all your videos, very informative. If you guys are ever in Rethymno, I'd love to meet you both.
Thank you very much ❤️ 😊 💙💙🙏. We might be soon in Rethymno 💙😊

can you provide us more details of the constructure company, a telophone, or a site to contact with them i want to buy a house like this. You are like a wish for me. Thanks a lot
Hello, the details of the builder are on our facebook group facebook.com/groups/1578269939631408/?ref=share .
More videos are coming with prefabricated
i see you entertain a lot the Airbnb idea, so i'd suggest you consider some things like a pool (i think you wont rent anything that doesnt have a pool), some kind of view or open area that the guest dont see an other house wall when they open their door, 2 beds is good idea (so at least 3 guests) so that you can be open to families too and not only couples or 2 friends(especially if you decide to buy the plot in a rural area and not in the city)... So if you get the plot in a city you wont need the pool, you can make it smaller, and the view is not so crucial but the price of the plot goes up, if you decide rural then pool is a must, view is also a must, and bigger is better... So the money you give for the view-pool u could "trade" for the plot in the city, which has the advantage of being able to also rent it to locals on a long term rent, and not limit your self on an airbnb. Plus the plot in the city never looses value, it only goes up! Now the trailer idea i dont entertain at all, dont do it :P So my advise is to heavily invest in the plot more than anything else!
Thank you very much for all this information and advice 💙💙. Thank you for watching us and taking the time to write all this 🙏👍🏻💙

15.000 in Greece is only to get a permit in order to place it in your land
Yes, permits are quite expensive . About 100-150€ per square meter, from what we understand

❓️What do you think of these houses?🤔 Drop a comment ⬇️
Very nice and cheap idea. Everybody can afford a house like this!
For a young couple who wants to save some money, for Airbnb to rent or even for retired people who want a nice house for some months in year.
You can buy also land near the water for "small" money and have your Summer house for holidays
I´m sure a lot of peolple in Greece would buy somethin like this if they knew it exists.
earthquackes are no problem, wind is! also you will have to pay a lot for connecting toilet and everything
Thank you for your content, we are considering retirement in Crete. Could you please provide me with the contact information of the contractor or builder for these prefab homes? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
yes no problem, the details can be found on our Facebook community group here facebook.com/groups/1578269939631408
can you provide a link of their website please ?
Yes, of course, please have a look in the description 🙏💙💙
Yes love it

Hello guy's. Price's is very good, BUT. If you want to buy something like this search for civil engineer because Greek law's about this house's is confused about where you can put it and if they give you water electricity etc
Thank you for watching and for the advice! 🙏 We'll keep this in mind.
Where are you watching from?😊
@@Sunpire from other Greek island 😆
💙🇬🇷
Are they earthquake safe though? Earthquakes in Greece happen quite often, and although strong ones (6,7,8 magnitude) are rare, they do happen. That's why all traditionally built (not prefab) buildings in Greece are made with concrete reinforced with steel bars. This one's walls look too thin and I have doubts.
It might be earthquake safe, but it is better to inspect this problem a bit deeper to know for sure.
Where is the seller in Greece? Do you have info, site, etc?
Yes, please check the link in the description or the pinned comment. You can find details there 😊🙏💙

It should be really really hot inside there during the summer days
When we visited, outside was 33 ° C, and inside was really nice and cool without aircon. I think if you choose a thicker isolation is not different than a normal house😊

@@Sunpire we react on the english of the man who sells the houses ( we are greek)
@@Sunpire what slus5019 said -and more specifically to what Greeks often do when we don't know exactly the English word for something - we pick the standard Greek word and change a little bit of it at the ending so that it sounds English! 😆 His English was very good regardless, it's just funny to take the piss out of it when it happens
I believe the land will be much more expensive than the house.
Lands are definitely not cheap😅
@@Sunpire It depends were you want to put it. If you want inside a city land gonna be expensive. If you go outside in some close village, land can get much cheaper or very cheap depending how far you want to go 😂. Most people that I know in greece put these kind of homes in more rural lands outside cities were land is cheaper. In an expensive land these kinds of home I think are not very efficient as investment since its more advisable to make much more level home and cover the whole building permit-allowance. This breaks down the cost per square meter less. By the way you must ask how much the cost of papers are. The legal way i think is with building permit which is not very cheap.... Other ways i think are not fully legal, they include a lot of "ifs", example "on wheels" etc
Thank you for the information! Probably if you're looking into this kind of houses you can only afford a plot in a rural area. Which I wouldn't mind at all! I would love a house like this in a village 💙
10K and 15K for these prefabricated houses in Greece.....i don't think the information you give or this guy gave you are accurate. These houses usually cost at least 40K and believe me i know really good because i supply these kind of constructors. Give us some more info about the name of this "constructor" that you found because to me it looks like a SCAM !
We shared his details in our community group, here⬇️

maybe you are overpricing. There are plenty of choices fir prefabricated on Greece
@@Sunpire Why not sharing these information here in public?
@@BafSBuNNy as a Greek, i can confirm that 10k is not realistic. It most probably does not include foundation, architect cost, licenses etc etc.
I believe it is just the cost of the walls and ceiling, meaning without it being assembled and maybe even without windows and floor...
I myself did ask 4 years ago a company in Greece for a prefab home of 100²m, single floor, cheapest isolation which included all except land and foundation and it did cost approximately 110.000. Not sure anymore about the exact number of cheap version but 110k minimum.
You have no idea of what you talking about .all the info is correct
The fb page of the construction guy is down and the price seems way to good to be true since ive researched it a bit due to having an interest in starting a business related to tourism in a certain ionian Island.
Thank you for watching!😊 probably everyone is trying to reach him, so that's why it doesn't work. It's not a huge company. He is a local builder, so this is also reflected in the price. But everyone should do their own research and decide to work with who's best for them.
It's not really a house. More like a mobile home. And probably a lot cheaper to build from self sourced materials.
Thank you very much for watching us and for advice 💙💙🙏🤗

Value for money
Thanks for watching!🙏Yes! It's a good value for what you pay.
What in the name of real estate are you talking about this price is you are talking about car rental prices
??
The prices are not realistic. You must buy the land, you must pay architect, the city rules isn’t so easy if it was you will see them everywhere
The prices are for the building only, not for tge land, for building permit or architect.
Yes but in the video is like you saying that with 15.000€ you will have home in Greece that isn’t the truth. Is a clickbait!
If someone would decide to build a traditional house, they would still have to pay for all of the above, it's still a more affordable option for some people.
I wouldn’t trust a guy who talks about gypsy staff that he would give me a deal that sounds too good to be true 😂
That's ok. There are plenty of other options
