About Duchy
With offices to the west of Marbella in Benavista and within the resort of Los Flamingos Golf, where they are acknowledged as being the local experts, Duchy Estates is now into its sixth year of business on the Costa del Sol and remains as committed, confident and passionate as ever about the promotion of property on this, the King of the Costas. Whilst many estate agents peddle their wares in Bulgaria and beyond, Duchy Estates is certain that for somewhere to relax on the beach, play endless rounds of golf, send the children to school, start up a business, moor the yacht or savour Spanish culture and food, the Costa del Sol is without compare.Although Duchy Estates is the first to agree that the buy off-plan and sell before completion formula is not operating as it did back at the start of the 21st century, there are still superb investment opportunities to be had on the Costa del Sol such as Alcazaba Hills. Alcazaba Hills in Estepona is a third generation Alcazaba project following Alcazaba Beach, also in Estepona, and the inaugural La Alcazaba in Puerto Banús. This Melvin Villaroel-designed flagship development may be 30 years old but La Alcazaba has timeless appeal and is still the envy of the Costa del Sol. Set around exquisite 20,000m² gardens accented by hundreds of palm trees and feature fountains, La Alcazaba offers top notch, spacious living accommodation alongside a health club, indoor and outdoor pools and popular Polynesian restaurant and cocktail bar. Little sister development, Alcazaba Hills, scheduled for completion mid-2009 features contemporary Mediterranean-styled south-facing apartments as well as a Clubhouse with Spa, fitness centre and restaurant, and of course the signature exotic landscaping. With such a fine pedigree, Duchy Estates has every confidence that Alcazaba Hills will replicate the runaway success of its predecessors.
Duchy Estates takes pride in being a local agent, with extensive local knowledge, and has access to literally thousands of off-plan, brand new and resale properties on the Costa del Sol from the humble one-bedroom apartment to the grandiose seven bedroom villa. As a family-run business Duchy Estates is highly protective over its customers and treats their money as if it were its own. No one is forced into parting with their cash on a property that falls short of their requirements and Duchy Estates refuses to sell on a development which has licensing issues or is being built by an unprincipled developer. Repeat business and referrals are very precious to Duchy Estates so therefore every client is handled with care throughout the buying process from start to finish and beyond. Aftersales is very important to Duchy Estates and customers have the ultimate in reassurance knowing that they are there on the end of the phone to answer any queries until they are settled and happy in their new home.
Whilst the Costa del Sol has captured Duchy Estates heart, and it is not going anywhere, Duchy Estates is mindful of the changing trends in overseas property, the colossal rise in overseas travel and the need for the property investor to remain ahead of the game in order to succeed. For this reason Duchy Estates has diversified into other markets and formed some interesting partnerships with environmentally friendly German housebuilders and international hotel providers to name but a few. This diversification will undoubtedly continue as Duchy Estates spot suitable opportunities.
