About Us

Buying a holiday home abroad is a dream that many of us share. The prospect of year-round sunshine in a beautiful setting where you can enjoy a far more relaxed and cheaper lifestyle is endlessly appealing. At Lighthouse, we know that making it a reality can be another matter. There are always difficult choices and hurdles in the house-buying process and buying property abroad can throw up some unexpected problems.

With thousands of estate agents overseas hoping to cash in on the property market the list of reasons to use a reputable agent is ever growing.

Lighthouse represents a network of overseas estate agents who offer the level of service that UK buyers expect. Lighthouse may be a name that is new to you, but it already has a reputation you can trust.

About Lighthouse
Our expert staff will help you refine your search for houses for sale in Europe, Florida and the emerging markets, and then match you up with the most relevant associate estate agent. Naturally, agents are area-specific, and some deal in certain price brackets or have other areas of expertise. Your selected agent will then help you find your ideal home by arranging your visit to view properties.
Lighthouse wants to know if you've received the service that our agent has promised, so we'll always ask for your feedback at the end of the process.
Property Agents you can trust.

We have long-established relationships with estate agents who must provide a service that meets the Code of Ethics they have signed up to. This means that you can begin your property search with the confidence that the agent will act in a transparent way and meet high standards of customer service.

Giving you a better selection
Each month up to 1,000 new properties for sale are added to the Lighthouse database so the selection is both sizeable and up to date. So much choice makes Lighthouse your one-stop-shop for buying a holiday home overseas.

Taking the pain out of your move
As experts in overseas property, we provide all the information you need to plan a successful move or investment abroad. Use our impartial buyer’s guide as a checklist to ensure that you have everything in order - including paperwork, lawyers, fees and much more.

What happens if an agent performs badly?
The Code of Ethics encourages best practice that affects every overseas estate agent in our network. In the unlikely event that one of our agents does not fulfill the Code of Ethics, Lighthouse will arbitrate and ensure fairness to all parties.

Where are we?
We have a head office in Bedfordshire in the UK. Our Spanish offices are in Marbella on the Costa del Sol, and in Guardamar and Calpe on the Costa Blanca.

We have a network of agents in the Algarve, Portugal, in Florida and in the emerging markets of Bulgaria and Turkey.

All our staff are English speaking.
