Property in Gibraltar, both residential and commercial, has always been in high demand and has therefore traditionally proven to be a smart investment. The red tape typically associated with property transactions in Mediterranean countries is minimised by the application of English Common Law principles of conveyancing. The sale or transfer (except between spouses) of property within Gibraltar is subject to stamp duty; the amount is variable and is based on the value of the property and sale price.
Gibraltar’s local property markets allow for real estate solutions to match the diversity of consumer demand. Commercial properties in Gibraltar support main street retail outlets as well as service providers in the burgeoning finance, insurance, and internet gaming sectors. The local residential market more than adequately satisfies investor demands, offering various housing solutions from city-centre/high-rise living to out-of-town family homes.
