A picturesque island with 300-year-old chapel on it can be snapped up for less than the price of a London flat…but there’s a catch.
The isle of Santo do Mar is up for grabs for £247,000.
Its current owner put it on the market two years ago.

It remains unsold to date, so they are now open to reduced offers.
Also known as the island of San Clemente, the islet belongs to Marín municipality in Galicia, north-western Spain.
It’s about a 20-minute drive from the charming, historic city of Pontevedra.
It covers an area of about 3,000 sq m (32,292 sq ft).
Santo do Mar lies a stone’s throw from Praia do Santo Beach on the Spanish mainland.
At low tide, a sandy isthmus to the islet emerges.
The island is home to a handful of pine trees and a quaint, ruined chapel that used to attract pilgrims.
It’s believed to date to the first half of the 18th century, as reported by Luxury Property News.
There is a catch, however.
The island lies within the Galician Atlantic Islands Marine-Terrestrial National Park, which is a protected area.
This means the buyer must leave the land untouched, ruling out a dream home overlooking the beach.
In October, a secluded house on the scenic Isle of Harris in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides hit the market for just £100,000.
It costs less than a garage in Clapham, south-west London, that went on sale for £140,000 in June.
The average price for a flat in the capital is £419,800, according to Zoopla.
