Canary Island Property Search

Casa Quest is where you’ll find the largest and most varied selection of property for sale in the Canary Islands.

This unique website is the brainchild of Dr Paul Johnson, a retired British medical practitioner. In collaboration with Sorted Sites, a Tenerife based web development agency, it was set up simply to make buying or selling properties on the Canaries easier.

The site is now up and running since 2003 and displays thousands of properties from some of the most reputable and well-established estate agents on Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria.

How it works
The site is simple yet very effective. By just clicking on your chosen island, you can search through a vast range of properties and build up your own unique portfolio of preferred properties before even contacting the estate agent. This way, you can do most of your research in your own time without any pressure of influence from the agent.

Casa Quest also provides local island information, links to legal advice, mortgage and finance specialists, furniture and furnishing suppliers etc.

The Canary Islands
Located off the west coast of Morocco, these Spanish Islands, also known as the “Happy Islands” are famous for their perfect climate, excellent nightlife, spectacular landscapes and top-class beaches.

With continued growth throughout the archipelago, despite the recent slump on the mainland, the Canary Islands are a much sought after investment area.

Island OverviewTenerife (The largest Canary Island)Tenerife is home to Mount Teide – the highest mountain in the whole of Spain. This mighty volcano towers over a spectacularly diverse landscape of deserts, lush green forests, black volcanic and white sandy beaches.Tenerife has a perfect year-round climate. With the potential to rent out properties all throughout the year at “tourist rates”, it’s no wonder the island is a favourite with investors.Gran Canaria
This paradise island is the largest in the archipelago and has cosy year-round temperatures of between 18ºC in winter and 25ºC in summer.

Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura has some of the best beaches in the Canary Islands – some of the best beaches in Europe!

This fascinating desert Island has just recently taken off. With year round sunshine, buyers have made huge returns on investments on guaranteed rental properties.

Every year more and more homebuyers and investors are choosing Tenerife, because of the perfect climate, spectacular landscapes and beaches, excellent nightlife, and also because of the rising value of property and the large rental returns you can make.

Gran Canaria
In Gran Canaria prices are increasing on average between 10 – 15 % per annum. This paradise island offers fantastic opportunities in buy to let investment and off plan.

Lanzarote
For many years Puerto del Carmen has been the main investment area on Lanzarote. Nowadays investors and developers are focussing more on Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise. These two areas offer a wide variety of new developments and properties with very large potential returns on investment.

Fuerteventura
Compared to some of the other islands, Fuerteventura is a relatively new property investment area but in the past five years it has taken off. Most of the new off plan developments are in areas like Caleta de Fuste and Corralejo in the north of the island.
