Buying property in Guernsey
What the numbers say, from 1,147 listings read off 21 agents' own websites and the island's sold-price register. This page reports data. It is not legal or tax advice, and the rules on who may buy here are the island's to state — the official links at the foot are the source for those.

The market you are buying in
Listings here are advertised as Leasehold or Local Market or Open Market or Freehold. Which one you may buy is a matter for the island's own rules, not for us — see the official links below.
Before you commit
- Check what the address itself last sold for — search the register. Nominal £1 transfers are labelled; they are not sales.
- Check the planning history of the address, and of the field next door. A granted permission is a paper fact, not a finished building.
- Pick your professionals on evidence: the firms whose applications actually get granted here.
- Compare the asking price with the rest of the parish — every area, side by side.
- If more than one agent is marketing it, they may not agree on the price or the bedroom count. We show both where that happens.
