As the global economy evolves, real estate presents both challenges and opportunities for investors. Guernsey’s property market, though distinct from major global cities, is not immune to the structural shifts reshaping the sector. Robert Pickford, Relationship Manager at Julius Baer Guernsey explores these changes, and how they are creating significant opportunities for forward-thinking investors.
Three key structural challenges
Recent years have highlighted three main challenges affecting Guernsey’s real estate sector. First, the rise of remote working, accelerated by the pandemic, has reduced the demand for traditional office space. While Guernsey’s smaller scale makes this trend less extreme, local businesses are rethinking their office needs.
Second, much of Guernsey’s building stock is ageing, and many properties lack the energy efficiency required to meet modern sustainability standards. According to European estimates, 75% of building stock is not energy efficient. The push for more environmentally friendly properties, combined with rising energy costs, means there is a clear incentive for owners to renovate and upgrade.
Finally, online shopping is impacting global retail, with local property owners rethinking how to repurpose commercial spaces.
Renovation and modernisation: The key to success Investment in modernising properties is crucial to maintaining value, particularly as Guernsey targets net zero carbon
emissions by 2050. Enhancing insulation, installing smart heating and cooling systems, and improving building automation can make properties more attractive and sustainable. Our Admiral Park offices for example, are 31% more electrically efficient than typical UK commercial buildings, as measured by the Real Estate Environmental Benchmark (REEB). Proper investment can lead the way in greener building practices.
This transformation in Guernsey’s property market offers significant investment opportunities, particularly in retrofitting older properties to improve value. Investors can also benefit from mixed-use developments combining residential and commercial spaces, catering to modern needs.
The structural challenges facing Guernsey’s real estate sector are part of a broader trend impacting property markets worldwide. However, with the
right investments in sustainability and technology, Guernsey’s property owners and investors can help future-proof the island’s real estate market.
We are committed to helping our clients navigate these changes and identify opportunities that align with their long-term goals. By staying ahead of these trends, investors can preserve and grow their wealth while contributing to the creation of a more sustainable and dynamic Guernsey.
Robert Pickford Relationship Manager
Autumn / Winter 2024 edition
As the days grow shorter one might expect the weather to dampen spirits and yet the upturn in recorded sales bears out growing confidence throughout the residential market. The new national government has led to a fresh influx of enquiries and we expect Guernsey to benefit from a wave of relocations throughout the remainder of the year and into the new year.
In order to keep up to date with all of our instructions, visit cooperbrouard.com to register your requirements, or call us on 01481 236039 to speak to a member of the team who would be delighted to help you further.
Our optimism in spring was somewhat unfounded as a bright start did not translate into hugely improved market conditions in early summer.
It has taken a reduction in the Bank of England base rates and the confirmation of a change in Government in the UK to spark the market and we have experienced a much greater sense of urgency from buyers on both the Open and Local Markets as we head towards the end of 2024. We expect this trend to continue, and perhaps grow as the Labour Governments’ tax plans unfold, and interest rates look set to ease.
Along with the many fine homes we are showcasing in this edition, you will find some of Guernsey’s best property and financial professionals. Their knowledge and expertise will be invaluable if you are a prospective
or existing property owner seeking advice on relocating, conveyancing, financing, investing, or developing. Please feel free to ask for a personal introduction from one of our negotiators to these partnered experts.
The demand for rental homes continues to outstrip supply on both markets and our Letting and Management Team are working hard to secure fresh rental homes, but also be alert to upcoming vacancies in one of the many properties we manage.
To be kept up to date, get in touch with one of our rental team and ensure we have your details.

In advance of Rachel Reeves’s Autumn Budget, Guernsey has become an increasingly popular yet discerning jurisdiction of choice for those leaving the UK or considering leaving the UK.
With its safe and secure Island lifestyle, coupled with its “Open Market” residential property market where any British or Irish passport holder may purchase and occupy a property, the entry requirement is more straightforward than in certain other jurisdictions.
In terms of becoming tax resident in Guernsey, this is possible by simply spending a minimum of 91 nights on the Island in a calendar year. Guernsey’s tax year is a calendar year. If you spend between 91 and 182 nights on Guernsey in a calendar year (and at least 91 in a second single jurisdiction) you are a “part time tax resident”. As such you may elect to pay the standard annual tax charge of £40,000 for the year, in place of filing a full tax return disclosing worldwide income. The standard charge tax payment covers all foreign income, including Guernsey bank interest, and the first £200,000 of Guernsey source income and is available under tax law. Typically, Guernsey residents who utilise the “part time tax resident” standard charge, often will have a home (or homes) in other jurisdictions where they also enjoy spending time.
Guernsey has always been welcoming to new residents, irrespective of whether part time or permanent tax residents. The tax system offers statutory tax capping, and other incentives, to new tax residents, making the Island an attractive place to live.
Julian Turian ATT FMAAT Executive Director
Natalie Chamberlain CTA Executive Director
The Tax caps are:
> Open Market Cap of £60,000. Available for the first four years of Guernsey residence. Requires the purchase and occupation of an open market property within 12 months of residence. The purchase must generate minimum document duty (or anti-avoidance duty) of £50,000 (property cost of £1.4m).
> Foreign income tax cap of £160,000. This is for non-Guernsey source income only. Guernsey source income remains subject to 20% tax. Guernsey bank interest is not considered Guernsey source.
> Annual tax cap of £320,000. A global cap utilised by individuals with substantial Guernsey source income.
As well as the headline tax caps available, other significant tax incentives for a new resident that should not be overlooked may include:
> Ability to claim double tax relief in Guernsey for UK corporation tax paid, where shareholder control of the UK company is in Guernsey on a UK company distribution.
> Ability to receive certain UK dividends exempt from both UK and Guernsey taxation.
> Ability to receive UK pension income, potentially including a lifetime flexible drawdown solely taxable in Guernsey.
> Ability to mitigate UK capital gains tax on gains made upon the disposal of certain UK assets.
LTS Tax Limited, registered with the Chartered Institute of Taxation, is an independent and leading tax practice in Guernsey. The team is qualified to provide UK and Guernsey tax advice and would be pleased to discuss UK and Guernsey tax matters with you.
