Winkworth opens new office in Spain near Marbella

Winkworth is opening a new office in Guadalmina, Spain, near to the popular resort of Marbella on the southern coast of Spain.

The office, which will add to its substantial number of offices in the UK and overseas, will be owned and operated by Bernard Vent, who is also a Winkworth director in London.

Together with an experienced team from Spain, he intends to bring the established brand to Guadalmina, Marbella, Estepona, Sotogrande and the surrounding area to help both locals and those overseas looking to relocate or for a holiday investment with all their property needs.

Winkworth already has a strong footing in the European property market with an international team in Mayfair, London, as well as offices in Portugal and associates in France, Switzerland and Italy. Using this foundation, it hopes to successfully establish the office in Guadalmina before expanding into other areas of Spain.

‘This is an exciting new venture for Winkworth and comes at a time when the agency is in a strong position and has more offices than ever before. We believe that entering into this new market will allow us not only to continue to strengthen our position as a leading European estate agency but will enable us to continue to offer our clients new and exciting services,’ said Dominic Agace, chief executive officer of Winkworth.

Vent, who has owned a property in this area of Spain for many years, said it has been his ambition to open a Winkworth office here in order to bring a different approach to property in the region.

‘Drawing on the strength of the Winkworth network, we intend to help UK buyers to find their perfect property in Spain, whilst delivering the service and results clients deserve. We understand that buying a property in Spain may be a daunting prospect, whether it's the language barrier, the foreign laws or the legal documentation, so we will be able to support clients through the whole process in order to help secure their perfect home,’ he explained.
