The international property market

Gilmar’s alliances with leading international estate agencies enable us to identify attractive properties around the world.

The global luxury residential market occupies a prominent position within the property sector. Faced with such an exceptional range of homes, it is natural for a buyer to feel an immediate connection with a particular property. That first impression becomes a considered decision when factors such as the surroundings, architecture and refurbishment are assessed. Privacy, social environment, leisure activities such as golf, skiing or hunting, proximity to shops and schools, and road or airport access also influence the choice. A genuine affinity with the country’s culture is equally important.

There are many compelling locations worldwide for a main residence, second home or investment. In Europe, highly sought-after destinations include France —Provence, the Côte d’Azur and the Alps—, Italy —Florence, Piedmont and Tuscany— and Portugal —Lagos, Cascais and Lisbon—, as well as Denmark and Sweden. Coastal homes are especially popular, although secluded rural and woodland properties also attract strong demand. In the luxury segment, the dynamic markets of the United States, Asia and Dubai continue to offer exceptional opportunities.
