PORTUGAL, THE ALGARVE

A football club owner, his wife and his three children were relocating to the south of Portugal to benefit from an NHR tax regime programme:

  • Small search area with 34 listing agents engaged
  • Plus off-market options
  • 11 villas shortlisted
  • Offer accepted on client’s second-choice property
  • 9.4% saving negotiated 
  • TOOK AWAY MUCH OF THE STRESS

    We were extremely happy with the services of Galleon and hugely appreciated Seb’s knowledge of the areas we were considering. With his European knowledge, he helped us narrow down an initially wide area, and steered us to areas which met our requirements for a property, but also where our investment was safe. I would recommend and in fact urge anybody looking for an overseas property investment to use the services of Galleon. It was absolutely invaluable, and took away much of the stress usually involved in a property purchase.

  • VERY PROFESSIONAL AND THOROUGH

    A very professional and thorough look at the marketplace helping us find our property of choice. Very helpful in final negotiations.

  • BEST IN CLASS

    I don’t think we would have bought our flat in Paris without Sebastien and his team. They did an amazing work on the search, helped us with the shortlist and then held our hand through the negotiations, and all done with Sebastien's Gallic charm and good humour. What more could we have asked for?

  • SAVED US €1.3M FROM ASKING PRICE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    Galleon and Seb have been recommended to us by our agent. What they managed in a short turnaround is just outstanding. We viewed 16 properties together and fell in love with a few. His expertise in negotiation was also impressive, saving us €1.3M off the asking price. Highly recommend.

  • HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL AND GREAT CONTACT NETWORK

    Seb took all the hassle out of negotiating on my new chalet in the French Alps and saved me a substantial amount in the process. He and his team then managed the conveyancing process through to completion. Found Sebastien to be highly professional, knowledgeable and great contact network.

  • INVALUABLE

    In the ultra-competitive market that is Monaco, having Seb and his team by our side was invaluable. Not only to find the right home for us, but also to secure it at the right price. Seb’s market knowledge, dealing with all stakeholders and access to off-market properties were outstanding. We’re now looking at buying in the UK and will use them again. Thank you and highly recommend.

  • ENJOYABLE AND STRESS-FREE

    Viewing and choosing our property with Sebastien's help was a really enjoyable and stress-free experience, he found us the right property because he took the time to find out exactly what we needed. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

  • I ALWAYS FELT LIKE MY PROJECT MATTERED

    Sebastien helped me make my first property investment in France. It was a true “hand holding” experience from connecting me to the right experts, making sure no mistakes were made, and listening to all my worries and doubts. I was probably the smallest client Sebastien was advising, but I always felt like my project mattered to him. I truly recommend Galleon properties to anybody who wants smooth sailing with their property investments.

  • SEB IS A STAR

    Seb is a star, down to earth, personable and extremely professional. He managed a complex acquisition in Monaco for us. The successful outcome is credit to his in depth market knowledge, relentless drive and excellent negotiation skills. An asset to anyone looking to buy in Europe and a friend today.

  • I’D HAPPILY WORK WITH GALLEON AGAIN

    The journey with Galleon started with an initial brief of the area in which we were wanting to buy, the type of property and budget. From that point on, we felt very comfortable being led by Seb and his team, from a long list to short list and subsequent viewings in the South of France. He pulled together a team of experts that took away all of the hassle and stress of buying a house so that we could concentrate on what was important to us. I’d happily work with Galleon again and have no hesitation in recommending them.
