Apartments required for qualified executive tenants.

If you are looking to make your property available please contact us.

Welcome to the International Property Collection Gibraltar Edition, Summer 2013

We welcome you to the Summer Edition of our Gibraltar property magazine.

In recent months there has been a surge in interest in Gibraltar property; residential and commercial. At times, we have struggled to cope with the number of applicants approaching us, which is a great problem to have. As a result of this sustained increase in demand levels, we have recruited an additional person to the team and we welcome Michelle Bannister as senior sales negotiator. Michelle previously worked at Chesterton in the Barnes and Battersea offices in London and this appointment should add further quality and professionalism to our Gibraltar office.

Indeed, I believe professionalism is the key to our current success. The estate agency industry in Gibraltar is unregulated. Yet at Chesterton, we adhere to our own internal professional codes as though we were regulated. All landlord and tenant monies are held in properly segregated client accounts which are ring-fenced from our own monies and reconciled on a weekly basis. Although this is the norm in the UK and elsewhere, this is not a requirement within Gibraltar, yet we believe clients prefer this approach.

Our residential lettings business has gone from strength to strength. It is a testimony to the quality of our team that many properties which become available are allocated to our applicants on our waiting list prior to the properties being showcased on our website. Landlords, we need more properties!

Would-be tenants who cannot source the apartment they desire are now turning into buyers. This has fuelled the recent high level of activity in the residential property sales sector, especially at the lower and higher end of the price spectrum where there is limited supply. Our sales pipeline epitomises just how busy our office has become in recent months.

As a specialist commercial agent in Gibraltar, we are proud to have represented a FTSE quoted company, new to Gibraltar, in their office search and relocation to the Rock. Despite an ever decreasing supply of office space, our activity pipeline in this sector is significant. Furthermore, we have assisted a number of transactions in the investment market where clients seek good returns on commercial property. This is a particular niche of ours.

In June 2013, Chesterton launched a new office in Sotogrande to give clients a joined up service between Gibraltar and nearby Spain whether moving back into Gibraltar from Spain, or acquiring a Spanish property from Gibraltar. Blended with our tax knowledge of both jurisdictions, we are confident of being able to provide a seamless and added value service to our cross border clients. Our website now contains over 300 nearby Spanish properties.

This month, we dedicate our centre spread to the forthcoming Gibraltar International Literary Festival. We are proud to sponsor the event and to give something back to the community from which we earn our living.

And finally, as a reminder, one further service we provide outside of the standard estate agency offering is a bespoke relocation service to Gibraltar and nearby Spain that employers can utilise for their incoming employees. From property to bank accounts, residency to removals, our service becomes an extension of the HR department of many companies.

We look forward to welcoming you and assisting you.

An Introduction to the Gibunco Gibraltar International Literary Festival 2013

GIBRALTAR

LITERARY FESTIVALINTERNATIONAL

THE

Official sponsor Gibunco Gibraltar International Literary Festival 2013

Organised byHM Government of Gibraltar

World class speakers and special events at one of Europe’s great destinations


In March 2013, Chesterton was approached by Her Majesty’s Government of Gibraltar to be a foundation sponsor of the first International Literary Festival on The Rock which is taking place on the 25th - 27th October 2013. It was a natural fit given the high profile of G.K. Chesterton, a member of the renowned real estate family, in the literary world.

The event, commissioned by Government, is being organised by the organisers of The Sunday Times Oxford Literary Festival and the Blenheim Palace Literary Festival.

Reflecting Gibraltar’s unique history, located between the cultures of Europe and North Africa, and at the crossroads of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, the Festival will celebrate these fusions, as well as Gibraltar’s centuries as a British Citadel and as a great staging post for international travel and commerce.

A set of three commemorative stamps were issued by Gibraltar in May to mark the Festival.

More than 70 novelists, authors and writers will be flying into Gibraltar to speak at the Festival from the UK, the USA, India, Morocco, Spain, Italy, Sri Lanka, France and The Netherlands and will be joined by Gibraltar writers.

The focus for the inaugural Festival will be the Garrison Library, founded in 1793 for officers of the Garrison and opened by HRH The Duke of Kent in 1804. Transferred to HM Government of Gibraltar in 2011, the Library’s handsome ballroom has now been restored and will be the Green Room for the Literary Festival. Other Festival venues will include: King’s Chapel; City Hall; St Andrew’s Church; King’s Bastion; the Cathedral of The Holy Trinity and John Mackintosh Hall.

G.K. Chesterton, 1874 to 1936, was one of the greatest literary figures in Britain in the early 20th century, described by George Bernard Shaw as ‘A man of colossal genius’.

He was a prolific novelist (80 books), literary and social critic and historian, short story writer (some 200) poet and essayist (4,000 essays). His Father Brown novels and works such as ‘The Napoleon of Notting Hill’ and his poem ‘The Rolling English Road’ were some of the most widely read of the Age.

A convert to Catholicism in 1922, Chesterton with his co-religionist, Hilaire Belloc, was a leading theologian and promoter of his faith.

Chesterton wrote a weekly column for thirty years in ‘The Illustrated London News’ and major articles for decades in ‘The Daily News’. For the final four years of his life, Chesterton broadcast 40 BBC Radio talks a year.

Chesterton is pleased to sponsor a special talk on

G.K. Chestertonat the Gibunco Gibraltar International Literary Festival 2013

“There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.”G.K. Chesterton

He influenced a whole range of his contemporaries and is still quoted as an inspiration by writers today.

His paternal great grandfather, grandfather and father were engaged in the family business of selling property, which was established in London in 1805 and is now worldwide, including in Gibraltar since 2008.

The talk will be given by the distinguished literary critic, biographer and novelist, D.J. Taylor. Acclaimed for his biographies of Thackeray and George Orwell (winner of the Whitbread prize), Taylor has written nine novels and four works on 20th century British fiction. He is currently working on a study of major inter-war British novelists.

D.J. Taylor.


The Gibunco Gibraltar International Literary Festival 2013More than 70 novelists, authors and writers will be flying into Gibraltar to speak at the Festival from the UK, the USA, India, Morocco, Spain, Italy, Sri Lanka, France and The Netherlands and will be joined by Gibraltar writers.

Kate Adie, Joanne Harris, Peter Snow, Madhur Jaffrey, D.J.
