Hamptons Announces New International Partnership with Roc Propietats in Andorra

The partnership marks Hamptons growing global reach to service clients both in the UK and across its international network, leveraging its trusted brand. For Roc Propietats and its Andorran clients, the partnership provides access to Hamptons wealth of UK property and services – and connections in over 35 countries.

Andorra, is one of the smallest countries in Europe, nestled between France and Spain in the Pyrenees mountain range. Known for its favourable tax rates, Andorra offers a peaceful location with virtually no crime, high quality of life, access to striking mountain landscapes, winter skiing, year round nature and fresh air, without losing out on city life.  It has one of the highest life expectancies in the world.

With an impressive track record spanning over 30 years, Roc Propietats has been instrumental in many of the most significant property developments across Andorra, demonstrating unmatched knowledge and expertise in this market. Their portfolio is as broad as it is diverse, offering a variety of properties from one-bedroom apartments priced at a modest £170,000, to £1m+ luxurious chalets in premium locations such as La Massana, home to the highest mountain in Andorra.

Leal Ignatius, Head of Hamptons International says: “Roc Propietats is a great fit for the international arm of Hamptons and we are proud to be able to strengthen our international presence by partnering with them.   

There has been growth of interest in Andorra’s real estate, in particular amongst high earning professionals and younger, self-employed individuals looking into residency.  Our longstanding experience over decades covering the Prime Central London and Prime Country markets and more recently, with Hamptons new Private Office Department, we are able to ensure that we present tailored service and solutions to these parties.”

Christian Muñoz at Roc Propietats says: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Hamptons and joining Hamptons International Network. The partnership is of great benefit to our clients, and to our business as we align with such a recognised and respected brand. This partnership presents an opportunity for us to broaden our global outreach and be part of Hamptons’ portfolio of high-quality properties around the world.

We look forward to introducing our clients as they seek to expand their portfolios in the UK and elsewhere.”

Muñoz on the Andorran property market:  “The scarcity of development space in Andorra safeguards property values, substantiating a solid investment proposition. The typical rental yields in Andorra swing between an attractive 3% and beyond 5%. Furthermore, the robust tourism sector, contributing at least 60% to the nation's GDP, attracts over six million visitors a year, enjoying the mountains and our duty free shopping year round. All affirming factors that there is merit to invest in Andorran property, although non-resident foreign purchase is subject to authorisation from the Andorran government and there is a new tax law on foreign investment.”

Ignatius concludes: ‘Since taking up the position of Head of International, there has been a review of our international operation and we are implementing a new strategy, with further expansion planned.  We look forward to further announcements in due course.”
