K2 LANZAROTE´S LUXURY PROPERTY SPECIALISTS
K2 is a niche independent real estate agency who specialise in matching discerning clients with properties of distinction. The co-owners Zoe Buchanan and Benn Atkinson arrived on Lanzarote over 16 years ago, and as pioneering entrepreneurs they’ve successfully established a diverse range of businesses on the island ranging from the infamous Discovery - antique furniture and interior decoration company through to the establishment of their own property construction and development business.
Beyond these established business ventures both Zoe and Benn are well-known faces on the island’s sporting and social scene.
Not only is K2 a real estate company but you can genuinely feel the passion that both Zoe and Benn have for the island and its architectural integrity. Their commitment to the renovation of Lanzarotes beautiul yet unkempt examples of stunning Canarian architecture is second to none and together they’ve renovated at least seven unique properties, turning them into highly desirable and stunningly located homes.
“It’s really come to our attention that there’s a definite demand for a niche agency who not only specialises in the more unique properties but which also lends itself into handling this buoyant upper end of the market, “ says Zoe. It’s also worth mentioning that it’s ever increasingly difficult to find the right character property, in the right location - to sum up they’re becoming few and far between.”
Benn adds “In fact a couple of houses in Teguise on our books date back 500 years and are among the oldest on the island.” Not surprisingly, many of these properties fall into a certain price bracket, and the properties in
Zoe and Benn have always lived away from the crowds in the rural towns and villages of Lanzarote, and it’s this market they know best. With an established client base which has grown through reputation and a solid marketing strategy much of their business to date has come from strong recommendation and the couple’s long experience on the island means that they are widely known and trusted.
It also means that they can help their clients at every stage: "We’re basically here to help secure your future on the island and take a hands on approach to guiding you through every step of the process" says Benn. Zoe adds: “We’ve invested years in Lanzarote and can therefore assist our clients in tracking down the best that the island has to offer from lawyers and accountants to schools, we’re here to help settle all into the island way of life!”
