Estate
Agents
Following
is a comprehensive and detailed list of all of the major estate agents
on the Island who can offer a wide variety of industrial, commercial and
private residential properties for both the individual (local and non-resident)
and companies.
There
are two markets for property on the Island for residential purposes, these
being "local market" or "open market". Local market
properties are for purchase by individuals who are qualified residents
as a result of their years on the Island, birth or otherwise by virtue
of a housing licence issued for employment or other purposes. The open
market is for all other individuals. For further information and details
relating to licences and residential status please contact the States
Housing Authority listed under States Authorities.
Surveyors
and Architects
Having
found a suitable property for your requirements you will, no doubt, subsequently
require the assistance or advice of a surveyor or architect for any remedial
or alteration works to your own house or business. We therefore list the
appropriate surveyors and architects offering their services on the Island
who will also be able to assist and prepare appropriate design and planning
applications.
Guernsey
has specific rules regarding the development and use of properties. We
can advise you on any specific restrictions or exemptions applicable to
any particular property.

States
Authorities
Below
are the necessary contact numbers for the relevant States Authorities
for information regarding housing licences/work permits, tax and social
insurance.
Save for those purchasing and living
in "open market" property, housing licences will be required
for all those relocating to the Island and intending to gain employment
who are not classified as qualified residents or who are not provided
with such by virtue of their employment.
Only qualified residents or individuals
with housing licences can live in "local market" properties.
Should individuals be unsuccessful in obtaining a housing licence or not
be intending to gain employment within the Island they should look to
purchase properties that fall within the "open market".
