Those of us who are lucky enough to live here know just what a great place Guernsey is to work, rest and play. The island has a rich heritage and wonderful sense of community that is hard to find anywhere else.
One of the many unique aspects about living in Guernsey is that it has two housing markets – defined as Local and Open.
Local Market properties make up approximately 90 per cent of the 27,000 homes on the island. They can only be occupied by those who were born and grew up in Guernsey or those who have come to the island for work because there is a shortage of suitable ‘local’ candidates.
The relative size of the Local Market when compared to the Open Market means that it is often a good barometer of current market conditions.
To help provide some inspiration for your property search, featured below are just a few of the Local Market properties currently available.
