It's easy to be seduced into buying a property on a beautiful Spanish island like Menorca. That's when estate agent Colin Guanaria's advice becomes invaluable
Colin Guanaria is a Leeds man still even though he has been very happily settled in Menorca with his wife Margaret for more than 20 years. He has become totally involved in the community and his business Bonnin Sanso is one of, if not the most successful, estate agents on the island.
He has a keen understanding of human nature which has helped him settle many Britons into some really outstanding properties. ‘It is easy to get carried away with the wonderful weather and the friendliness of the people but buying a property here is different to buying a property in England. The language will make a difference of course but there are planning and legal matters that have to be taken into account too. It is very important to get the right advice.’Bono Sanso, established in 1988, has all the expertise a prospective buyer or seller should need. The company has a team of people who are multilingual, has solicitors who have complete understanding of property buying and selling procedures as well as one the broadest ranges of properties from holiday apartments to luxury villas onits books.But it is Colin’s personal experience of the island and its people that really makes the difference. He knows the best places to shop, to eat, to relax and where the most desirable residential areas are to be found. It is not just his invaluable knowledge of properties both new and established and others that are still on the drawing board, but his ability to match people to a property and his gentle guidance that helps would-be home owners or property investors understand what is involved in buying in Menorca.ContactBonnin Sanso, Mahon, Menorca+34 971 35 04 05mahon@bonninsanso.combonninsanso.com
