PRIMROSE Estates is looking forward to another year of success. The Duquesa-based real estate company has grown from strength to strength since opening just a little over two years ago.

Managing director Lynn Van Wilderode (right) is now looking to expand and will be hiring new staff by the summer. “Last year was a crazy year,” says Lynn, “Spring was especially successful, and although there was British hesitation post-Brexit, the slack was picked up by the Scandinavians as well as a few more French.”

Belgium-born Lynn, who speaks English, Dutch, French and Spanish, prides her company on offering the best bargains between Estepona and Duquesa. “Although we are seeing healthy price rises in terms of sales, we have still got some great bargains on our site.”

Blood

Lynn puts the success of Primrose down to her genes; her father worked extensively in the property business in Belgium and Europe. “It’s definitely in the blood,” she says, “I grew up in the property market and have worked in the business along the Costa del Sol since I was 19, it’s the only thing I’ve known!”

Following a strong 2016, the company has invested into its holiday rentals and main websites to make them more user-friendly. “With a growing business we needed to make things a lot easier for our clients, the new website lets them book rentals online a lot more efficiently, and it’s a lot easier to navigate than before”.
