These are the apartments in the Andorgest portfolio, the commonest type in the upper parishes: Encamp, Canillo and La Massana, where much of the stock went up around the ski lifts. They are compact homes in managed blocks, often with parking or a terrace. You can narrow by transaction, by bedrooms and bathrooms and by floor area, and each listing names the parish. In the blocks we manage we know what the community charges cover and how the heating works.
About this search
Apartments in Encamp, Canillo, La Massana and Ordino are almost always bought with a double purpose: to use in winter and to earn from for the rest of the year. That dual life shapes everything else. The real walking distance to the gondola matters, parking in high season matters, and how the community functions matters a great deal when half the block only appears at Christmas and Easter.
Mixed-use communities are the hardest to run and the ones that gain most from being run properly: decisions that never get taken for want of a quorum, works postponed, heating costs apportioned badly. Before buying an apartment at altitude, it is worth reading the minutes of the last general meeting with the same attention you give the kitchen.
Frequently asked questions
It is a common use, but not an unrestricted one: tourist and seasonal letting have their own framework and obligations, and some communities restrict the activity in their own rules. Before buying with that plan you need to check both — the applicable regulations and what the building permits. We verify it before you commit.
A great deal, and not in a straight line. Being at the foot of the gondola or within the first shuttle route is a different proposition from ten minutes by car, particularly for seasonal letting. Every listing carries the exact location on a map so you can judge the real distance rather than the one implied by the name of the area.
The same as one in continuous use: community charge, communal taxes and utility standing charges. Central heating, where it exists, is usually apportioned by share rather than by consumption, so it is paid whether or not the flat is occupied. Have the figure before you buy, because it changes the arithmetic considerably for an owner who only comes up in winter.
Yes, and it is a substantial part of what we do. We are building managers as well as agents, so we can hold the relationship with the community, deal with incidents and coordinate trades on behalf of an owner based outside the Principality. For a seasonal second home, having someone in Andorra who can open the door is not a luxury.
