Do you dream of a life in Sunny Spain running your own business? A franchise with the tried and tested Hamiltons of London branding could be the perfect opportunity for you! Our prestigious brand is renowned in the Marina Alta area of the Costa Blanca for our professionalism, excellent customer care, local knowledge and expertise. With our experience and guidance, you could have your own successful business in this wonderful country. However, first you need to establish where you are going to establish your business.
Range of Property
Drive around to establish the range of property types available and check what prices they are being marketed at and be nosey in the windows of other Estate Agents. Speak to banks to check what possibilities potential customers will have for mortgages, and speak with lawyers so that you know the implications for vendors of any sales and inheritance taxes. Speak with local craftsmen and builders to find out how much renovations might cost if required by buyers moving to a new home. With all this information you will be able to work out a competitive scale of how to value properties based upon size, location, condition etc.
Location
Being an Estate Agent calls for flexibility so you don’t want to spread yourself or eventually your team too thin, it is best therefore, to open in the area you know best. For this reason, do your market research and look for an office either in the town you have moved to or one not too far away. Check the distances between towns and areas local to you so that you locate yourself in the epicentre to ensure maximum coverage. Send your proposal to us at Hamiltons and, providing none of our other Franchisees are already covering that area we will be happy to discuss your plans or help you to establish a suitable, nearby alternative.
Areas to Choose from
- The Costas are all attractive to those wanting to move to Spain and investors, so you can’t go too far wrong whether you are looking at the more northerly Costa Brava all the way to the south of the Costa Del Sol. Each of these fantastic coastal areas have so many towns along the sea as well as slightly inland that can provide an excellent property base for your Estate Agency. Although Hamiltons of London already have more than one office in the Costa Blanca check which other towns we don’t yet have the ability to cover, the southern Costa Blanca for example and the Murcia region could provide you with some very tempting possibilities.
- The Balearic Islands off shore from the Costa Blanca are the beautiful islands of Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca and Formetera all with good international transport links as well as sea links to the mainland. One of these lovely islands might be the perfect place for you to establish your Hamiltons of London office.
- The Cities Spain’s cities and their suburbs can offer you endless possibilities with a constant influx of customers who need easy access to Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla etc. for work. City life is also very attractive to those who enjoy the busy and exciting vibe larger towns can offer.
- The Countryside and Mountains Spain is such a large country that there is also a lot of wide open space but, if you prefer the more rural and rustic lifestyle and feel that this is what you could sell do research this very carefully first because these areas will without questions be more challenging for anybody in Real Estate. You do need to consider population density, employment opportunities and tourist attractions to ensure that the area you choose to live and work in will be able to provide you with a large enough rotation of customers buying and selling property.
Conclusion
Now you have chosen your new home in Spain you can start to help others and with Hamiltons of London behind you with advice, support, training and wealth of experience, you can be sure that you will soon be on the road to success!!!
