ALDERNEY

Looking for peace of mind, security and affordability? Look no further.

The Channel Island without purchasing restrictions yet enjoys the same benefits as Jersey and Guernsey including NO Inheritance Tax and NO Capital Gains Tax for domiciled residents. 20% Income Tax and a favourable Tax Cap.

Just 80 miles south of Sandbanks lies the splendour of Alderney. So simple to move in to for a change of lifestyle or to enjoy a splendid holiday home with your family. We are only a 30-minute flight from Southampton in turboprop Dorniers with Aurigny Air Services.

With a population of about 2,100, Alderney boasts its own Government with a President, 10 non-political States Members and a small Civil Service. It is a part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, an island just a 10-minute flight away.

The island takes pride in its superb golf course with unrivalled views and enjoys many other sports, clubs and societies. Alderney is also steeped in history with an early Iron Age camp, a Roman Fort, Victorian Forts on every promontory, German bunkers & trenches and a museum that covers so much of its fascinating history.

Within our 3.5 square miles, we have what is needed – many restaurants that provide the quality we expect, bars as meeting places, HSBC bank, grocery shops, clothing, newsagents, car and electric bike hire etc. etc.

We have it all!

Our harbour is inside one of the longest Victorian breakwaters built that dates back to the 1850s at a time when the English Government was deeply concerned that the French would invade – probably from Cherbourg. Alderney being the closest piece of British soil to France was where the English decided to keep the fleet in readiness to intercept a possible attack.

Enjoy the sweeping sandy bays and safe swimming followed by one of the many captivating coastal and country walks. Alderney’s serenity and breath-taking views gives it that ‘world away feeling’ from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Sounds too good to be true? Come and see for yourself and you could well end up joining our idyllic lifestyle. We simply appreciate what we have.
