Welcome to the International Property CollectionGibraltar & Sotogrande Edition, Spring 2012A selection of prestigious properties from Chesterton

2011 was our best year thus far by some margin. We take our fair share of the credit for that as we strive to deliver a quality service. We also benefit from the success of Gibraltar generally. Low tax, well regulated small jurisdictions are performing well during these challenging financial times. In Gibraltar there is no legacy of high debt, and the tax regime is an attraction to individuals and companies alike.

As an ex-KPMG chartered accountant in the real estate industry in a low tax jurisdiction, I find myself talking tax as much as talking property. In certain markets, like Gibraltar, the two are inextricably linked. Our ability to assist clients in the tax and property world has enabled us to be at the forefront of the incoming property sector in Gibraltar.

Our relocation business goes from strength to strength. We are engaged by a number of companies to hand hold their staff and new employees through the relocation process from property search and selection, to residency issues, to utility connections. We also help companies establish their presence in Gibraltar, whether finding an appropriate commercial premises, managing an office fit-out or applying for a trade licence. We cover all bases.

Chesterton Property Management, our property management and building surveying business that we launched last year, won a number of new management contracts in the last quarter. Indeed, Chesterton Property Management has now moved into its own dedicated office in the Cornwall’s Centre, just behind Main Street. We are confident that our professional approach to property management, with John Mckillop Smith FRICS FBEng FBIFM at the helm, will result in further business growth.

In our industry in Gibraltar, having two ground floor retail offices is unique and it is a real testament to the success of Chesterton locally. We are grateful for the support of the local community in our growth to date.

Internationally, the Chesterton network spans five continents. We are able to promote a number of attractive real estate opportunities, in Gibraltar, Spain, UK and well beyond. This is where we can provide clients with real estate proposals to suit their own investment objectives, whether bank repossessions in Spain or tenanted commercial office space in London. This is a rapidly growing business for us.

This spring we are working closely with colleagues in Malta to establish a Chesterton office there. There are many synergies between Gibraltar and Malta and our respective offices will seek to work closely together for the benefit of mutual clients across the gaming, funds, tax and financial services industries.

Ultimately, our success relies upon our service levels, our stock levels and the advice that we are able to give to clients. We will continue to work hard to be the best on all these measures.

Chesterton Corporate Services, a division of the Chesterton Estate Agency, grew out of the desire of companies to tap into a local knowledgeable service that could meet both the employer’s requirements of encouraging its staff to relocate, and, to be a point of contact for each individual as they stepped off the aeroplane to discover what Gibraltar and nearby Spain was all about.

The number of jobs in Gibraltar grows year on year (up some 50% in the last ten years) and currently exceeds 20,000. Some 28% of employees are of British or other EU extraction (excluding Spain). It is therefore reasonable to suggest that at some stage, over 5,000 employees have relocated from their homeland to Gibraltar or nearby Spain to undertake employment in Gibraltar.

The relocation service has evolved to meet the needs of both employer and employee. We provide an orientation service, to show each person the areas most suited to their requirements, be it budget based, best beaches or golf courses, proximity to the office, or nearby schools etc. We then short list suitable properties from a wide variety of pre-selected reputable agents and help with the negotiation. We hand hold parents’ visits to schools, whether Gibraltar or Spain, guide each person through the myriad of red tape surrounding residency applications, tax office applications and health card registrations. And we even have special rates we can pass on for removal companies that know what to do when they reach the Gibraltar / Spanish border.

The growth of our relocation service has been in response to client needs. Each package is tailored to suit the client, whether a relocation of 100 staff or just the one.

Please talk to us if you think we can help.
