Las Palmas Property: Laura Leyshon at RE/MAX Cony
Laura Leyshon
I moved to Gran Canaria in 2002 to spend a year learning Spanish as part of my degree.
I met my husband to be Alex and, after a whirlwind courtship, I returned to England to finish studying before escaping back to the sunshine.
After three years of working as a teacher and saving every cent we left Gran Canaria to go travelling. We wanted to make sure that we had chosen the best place we could find to live.
After two years and 30 countries we came back to Gran Canaria, sure that we’d chosen the right spot to start a family.
After a couple of years and a couple of children I realized that I didn’t want to teach full time and started working for RE/MAX Cony.
RE/MAX Cony Overseas
Cony was the first RE/MAX office in Gran Canaria and 20 years later is now one of Las Palmas’ leading estate agencies.
Buying or selling a property with RE/MAX gives you all the security that comes with using a household name and access to almost every property on sale in Las Palmas and Gran Canaria.

Finding a Rental Property in Gran Canaria
Las Palmas is the ninth biggest city in Spain with over 400,000 inhabitants. Consequently, there are always plenty of decent flats to rent. The problem is finding one in the right area when you need it. Rental properties are listed and rent out fast on the island, especially in high-demand areas like the beach fronts. Finding a rental property can be a major headache for people with little time, or for those who don’t speak good Spanish. [Read more…]
