Hamptons is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Cerro Novo, a highly regarded estate agency based in Portugal’s Central Algarve. The collaboration will operate under the co-branding ‘in association with Hamptons’, further strengthening Hamptons’ International network.
This partnership significantly enhances Hamptons’ footprint in Portugal. Previously focused on the Western Algarve, the network will now extend across the central region, covering key locations from Faro through to Portimão. For Cerro Novo and its clients, the alliance brings the advantage of being part of the Hamptons portfolio, with properties featured on the Hamptons website and supported by a comprehensive suite of marketing and advisory services. Listings will also benefit from international exposure across Hamptons’ global network, which spans more than 35 countries.
Cerro Novo offers a diverse range of properties, from coastal apartments starting at approximately £300,000 through to prestigious villas valued at up to £15 million. These properties will now be showcased not only on the Hamptons International website, but also across leading portals including Rightmove Overseas, Zoopla, JamesEdition, and PrimeLocation.
Established in 1981, Cerro Novo is the longest running officially licensed estate agency in the coastal city of Albufeira. Its experienced team of 14 professionals provides in-depth local expertise and offers comprehensive guidance to international buyers, including navigating the legal processes involved in purchasing or selling property in Portugal. Cerro Novo also offers complimentary valuations for property owners who are considering selling, or who would like an up-to-date indication of their property’s current market value.
Leal Ignatius, Director of International at Hamptons, says: “We are delighted to expand our presence in Portugal through our partnership with Cerro Novo. This represents an important strategic step for Hamptons, allowing us to offer even greater coverage across the Algarve and deliver enhanced value to our clients.
The Algarve continues to attract strong interest from British buyers, including investors, second-home purchasers, and retirees. Its combination of high-quality property, excellent connectivity, a thriving hospitality sector, and consistently strong rental performance makes it one of Europe’s most compelling destinations for overseas investment.
This partnership reinforces our ongoing commitment to providing exceptional properties and a highly professional service to our clients worldwide.”
Robert Edwards, Director & Partner at Cerro Novo, says: “Joining forces with Hamptons marks an exciting milestone for Cerro Novo, and we are proud to be part of this international collaboration. Having supported UK buyers for many years, this partnership enhances our ability to connect them with our clients’ properties while also supporting Portuguese buyers seeking opportunities in the UK.
Through Hamptons’ global network, we are able to significantly broaden our reach, presenting our portfolio alongside an international selection of prime properties and ensuring greater visibility for our clients.
The Central Algarve coast and countryside, from Faro to Portimão, continues to grow in popularity and remains among the most desirable locations in Portugal.”
