This business was founded in 2004 by the Vendors who decided on a lifestyle change to the Costa Blanca. After letting out their own properties, they quickly realised there was a huge market with almost uncapped potential. Since then, they have established a reputation for the quality and variety of its apartments and villas, flexibility of service and reliability.
The company specialises in apartment and villa rental on the very well known and internationally renowned Spanish resort region of the Costa Blanca.
The business currently operates from an office adjacent to the vendor’s home but it could easily be relocated to any UK or other worldwide location. It has established itself as one of the area’s leading independent providers of medium range apartments and villas. Many current customers have been loyal to the business since the very beginning and this has been due in no small part to the business’s competitive and high added value prices, quality products, first class service and attention to detail.
The properties are perfectly located at resorts along the Costa Blanca including Altea, Albir and Calpe. Javier and Denia are within 50 km. and other popular locations and places of interest along the Costa Blanca are also within easy reach.
The apartments and villas themselves are varied so that they are perfect for as few as 2 to more than eight people. Some villas have their own private pool and the interiors are varied, reflecting the taste of the owner, from contemporary to traditional.
About the Costa Blanca
The Costa Blanca is a beautiful region with mountains stretching along most of the coast. The A7 motorway (with some toll sections) stretches from north to south along the coast. The N-332 also runs parallel yet is free from charges although much slower as it passes through the middle of many towns.
There are huge amounts of flights into Alicante airport, especially from Northern Europe. Valencia airport to the north is also well serviced. Further to the south of the Costa Blanca is Murcia airport. With the advent of many low-cost airlines many people live in Spain and commute to work in England. Flying time is only about 2 hours which often doesn't get you far when driving on congested roads in England.
The northern Costa Blanca is typically mountainous with cliffs and coves, a mixture of pebble beaches and fine sandy beaches. North of Altea it is surprisingly very green and lush.
The southern Costa Blanca is mostly flat with fine sandy beaches, palm trees and salt lakes. The south is much drier and more typical of what a person who had never visited Spain would expect to see.
The Costa Blanca has something for everyone from tiny rural inland villages to cosmopolitan tourist resorts on the coast such as Benidorm.
Customer Service:
The guest comes first. This is the simple and robust formula for all aspects of a guest’s stay at one of the properties.
The business is supported by exemplary relations with key suppliers who have helped to ensure that customer service is never compromised and that their experience is positive. Customer issues are dealt with thoroughly and effectively in resort as any rare occasion arises.
Key Strengths:
The business is well established and very profitable, with a strong, growing customer base managed by a comprehensive and sophisticated blend of management expertise and customer service. The business retains a high level of repeat business, particularly among a number of guests returning on a regular basis, some having done so for many years.
Key Opportunities:
This is an outstanding opportunity to build on the existing business services and customer base. With a strong demand for its experience combined with a capacity to increase turnover, a new owner contributing fresh ideas will have every advantage of building on an excellent platform.
Advertising and Marketing
The business has used limited advertising in the past which includes promotion to international markets and there are excellent opportunities to increase this and market the business more aggressively to significantly increase turnover.
To date the company has spent limited money on marketing. A high proportion of the business's revenue has been due to its excellent reputation for quality and service and strong word of mouth recommendation; supported by significant return custom.
Financial profile:
The business is being offered for sale on a going concern basis, all financial discussions will take place directly between the vendor and all interested parties under the auspices of Turner Butler.
Sales revenue is circa €190,000 per annum with circa €70,000 in adjusted net profits and our clients feel that with investment in sales and marketing and the increase in market demand the business could dramatically increase its revenues
