Escape to the Caribbean

Brown&Co’s presence in the Eastern Caribbean, with a physical office on the island of St Lucia, which we opened in 2005, came as a result of our initial operations with the Barbados Physical Development Plan in 1997.

For people looking to invest in a holiday or second home, or to escape the UK permanently in retirement, our St Lucia office offers some appealing properties for sale.

St Lucia is a small Eastern Caribbean Island (238 square miles), which is a member of the British Commonwealth and is situated around 24 miles south of Martinique and 21 miles north-east of St Vincent, originally formed by an ancient volcano - now a top tourist site with its hot Sulphur Springs (World’s only Drive-in Volcano) and famous twin peaks known as the Pitons.

Offering a lush tropical setting with white and black sandy beaches and an alluring average annual temperature of 27°C, St Lucia is a popular choice for British people, who now make up a large proportion of its population of just over 184,000.

St Lucia is a popular choice because of its warm climate, direct flights with British Airways of around 8.5 hours and the fact English is the main language. A particular benefit for those needing to work, is that it’s only 4 or 5 hours (depending on the changing of the clocks) behind UK time.

Compared to many other locations abroad popular with the British such as Dubai or even closer to home, the south of France and Tuscany, St Lucia’s property market offers considerable value, depending on where you buy.

Some of the island’s most expensive properties are in the coastal resort known as Sugar Beach in the Southwest, Rodney Bay and Cap Estate, in the north of the island.

Our office has listed properties for sale from £122,000 for a three-bedroom detached home in Babonneau, in the north near Castries, up to £526,000 in Rodney Bay.

Our largest home on the market, “The Hill” in Cap Estate, set in 3.6 acres of grounds and with 360° panoramic views, is for sale for a price on application.

We also have plots of land for sale to build your own dream home. Plots have recently been sold for £55,000 and another is currently under offer at £32,600.

Many buyers choose to rent their properties out when they are not there, and we can facilitate and advise on this process and the income potential.
