About us
Garratt Homes was formed by Steve Garratt and Jeremy Garratt (not related) combining over 25 years of experience living and working in Spain.
We know and cover the whole Costa del Sol and have specific geographical ties to Benalmadena, Fuengirola and the inland regions of Alhaurin, Coin and Monda.
After holding several managerial and customer related posts, for some of the larger, impersonal and ruthlessly profit orientated estate agents on the coast, Steve and Jeremy felt it opportune to open Garratt Homes, putting their ample experience to the good use of their own valued clientele.
The company was founded on clear principles of providing a quick, transparent, thorough and professional service to Spanish and English clients alike.
Above all, providing honest, professional advice to both buyers and sellers based on the realities and fundamentals of the actual Spanish property market today.
As many of you will know, the boom days of the Spanish property market are over. The hard sell, make hay while the sun shines approach is in stark contrast to the Garratt Homes way of working. Our private and professional experience is brought to bear in finding the right property at the right price for our customers; something akin to how you would find and purchase a property back home. As we do business with Spanish buyers and vendors you can rest assured that Garratt Homes provides the same level of service and accurate pricing to its non-Spanish clients as it does to the locals.
