Company Profile
Inmobiliaria Lingwood is an independent family business specialising in villas on the hillside overlooking Salobrena town and - yes - the views really are as shown on the photo above! The business was started by Mike Lingwood, Chartered Surveyor and Margaret Lingwood, Gestor Intermediario de Promociones y Edificaciones (G.I.P.E.), property professionals and each with around twenty years' knowledge and experience of the local property market in and around Salobrena. We were fortunate to have moved to Salobrena with our 3 young children in 1988 & for the past 18 years we have lived on Monte de los Almendros, the most popular residential area on the hillside. We know most of the people here and many of our new buyers are introduced by former clients who have been happy to recommend us to their friends. In January 2005 we were joined by James Thomas, a qualified UK lawyer and resident of Monte de los Almendros, to help us cope with the increasing demand for properties in this area. James is now a partner in the business working primarily with Mike on sales and marketing.
Our selling methods are far removed from those of the high pressure real estate agents you might have come across elsewhere. During the past 17 years we have helped buyers successfully conclude more than 300 property purchases, with none of them having had problems of a legal, structural or financial nature or indeed with anything else significant that they were unaware of at the time of purchase. We are very careful which properties we take on and reject any that we are not entirely happy with from a structural or legal standpoint.
This is what one of our buyers had to say about their experience with us: "From our initial enquiries, through viewing, negotiating, paying and final completion, the service we received was consistently patient, thoughtful and good-humoured as well as thoroughly professional. At a time when newspapers in the UK are full of stories about the potential problems of buying abroad, often of unscrupulous agencies, it was good to discover that there are exceptions such as Lingwood. click here to see the full version
