Lanka Real Estate started as a small service helping friends from abroad find small gems in the form of land and old colonial houses through our contacts in the Hill Country. It wasn’t long before we discovered we had an invaluable service to offer, not only in finding suitable properties for buyers, but also in helping our clients wade through the bureaucratic red tape involved in buying property in Sri Lanka, and ensuring they got exactly what they paid for. Word of mouth soon helped spread our reputation to other areas of Sri Lanka. Our head office is now based in the 16th century Portugese Fort of Galle, a Unesco World Heritage site located in the Southern Province, close to some of the Island's most popular beaches.
