Gibraltar ( jih-BRAWL-tər, Spanish: [xiβɾalˈtaɾ]) is a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. It has an area of 6.7 km2 (2.6 sq mi) and is bordered to the north by Spain. The landscape is dominated by the Rock of Gibraltar at the foot of which is a densely populated town area, home to over 32,000 people, primarily Gibraltarians.

In 1704, Anglo-Dutch forces captured Gibraltar from Spain during the War of the Spanish Succession on behalf of the Habsburg claim to the Spanish throne. The territory was ceded to Great Britain in perpetuity under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. During the Napoleonic Wars and World War II it was an important base for the Royal Navy as it controlled the entrance and exit to the Mediterranean Sea, the Strait of Gibraltar, which is only 14.3 km (8.9 mi) wide at this naval choke point. It remains strategically important, with half the world’s seaborne trade passing through the strait. Today Gibraltar’s economy is based largely on tourism, online gambling, financial services and bunkering.

The sovereignty of Gibraltar is a point of contention in Anglo-Spanish relations because Spain asserts a claim to the territory. Gibraltarians rejected proposals for Spanish sovereignty in a 1967 referendum and, in a 2002 referendum, the idea of shared sovereignty was also rejected.

On 31 January 2020, the UK and Gibraltar left the European Union. In December 2020, the UK and Spain agreed in principle to a basis on which the UK and the EU might negotiate terms for Gibraltar to participate in aspects of the Schengen Agreement.

Flipping Investment Property in Gibraltar

Flipping property in Gibraltar

Flipping property is when we advise clients to buy a Gibraltar property below market value, renovate it and then make a profit by selling it at a higher price, all within a few months, and often before the Gibraltar market has a time to react to the renovation.

The Flipping Strategy in Gibraltar

Investment property flipping in Gibraltar is a simple strategy. You find a property that is in need of renovation from our list and purchase it for a low price. These type of Gibraltar real estate investments are sometimes referred to by professionals as ‘distressed’ Gibraltar real estate.

What is distressed Gibraltar property:

  • Gibraltar property in need of renovation
  • Gibraltar real estate with a change of purpose and use
  • Oversold Gibraltar property
  • Bank repossessions in Gibraltar

Put simply, long term investors in Gibraltar purchase the property, renovate it and make it a lot more attractive to potential buyers.

Calculate profit that you make from Gibraltar investment property flipping:

Final Selling Price less Cost of Purchase less Costs = Profit

Here is an example:

Gibraltar property purchase price: $220,000

Renovation costs: $20,000

Other costs: $25,000

Property sale price: $400,000

Profit: $135,000

Experienced property developers in Gibraltar use a minimum profit value of 22% when looking at potential Gibraltar projects. The reason for this is because there are lots that can go wrong in Gibraltar property flipping and working on a potential margin of 22% should still leave a good margin of error.
