The verdict in three sentences
In Gibraltar, a property management company website costs, as a 2026 order of magnitude, roughly 5 000 to 20 000 GBP with a Gibraltar or UK agency, and about 4 000 to 15 000 EUR (around 3 400 to 12 800 GBP) with a studio across the frontier on the Costa del Sol. Kolonell builds owner pages, a management request form, live listings and a tenant request flow for a fixed 2 300, 3 900 or 6 900 GBP, in English, with Spanish supplied by you or quoted separately. With so few local suppliers on the Rock, the useful comparison is the three-year cost and whether the site speaks to the two audiences that matter here: investor landlords who often live abroad, and tenants employed in online gaming, finance and professional services.
Who builds property websites for Gibraltar firms, and at what price?
The local market is small, so many Gibraltar firms buy from three pools: a handful of studios on the Rock, agencies in the UK, and studios in Marbella, Málaga or Sotogrande. The ranges below are cautious orders of magnitude, not official prices, drawn from public price pages of agencies in those markets, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co profiles, published hourly rates (often 60 to 100 GBP an hour in Gibraltar and the UK, 40 to 70 EUR in Andalusia) and rates visible on Upwork.
| Item | Gibraltar or UK agency | Costa del Sol studio | Freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Build cost, 2026 order of magnitude | 5 000 to 20 000 GBP | 4 000 to 15 000 EUR (about 3 400 to 12 800 GBP) | 1 200 to 4 500 GBP | 2 300 / 3 900 / 6 900 GBP, fixed |
| Usual timeline | 6 to 12 weeks | 5 to 10 weeks | 3 to 8 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| English copy for owners and tenants | Often left to you | Often non native | Rarely included | Native English copywriting included |
| Spanish version | Usually extra | Native, often included | Depends | Supplied by you or quoted separately |
| Meetings in Gibraltar | Gibraltar studios: yes | Sometimes, across the frontier | Yes | No, video calls only |
| Support after launch | Separate retainer | Separate retainer | Case by case | 3 months, 6 in Premium |
Be honest with yourself about the Spanish question. If half of your tenants and several owners prefer Spanish, an Andalusian studio that writes native Spanish may be the better buy. Kolonell fits when English is your lead language and you want a fixed written scope, native English copy and a project manager who books Google Meet calls at your hours with a written update every week. The team is based in Senegal (GMT), one hour behind Gibraltar in winter and two in summer. Payment is by bank transfer or Wise: 50 % at kickoff, 50 % on delivery. See our international website offer.
What does the three-year bill look like?
The table assumes the same maintenance budget on both sides, since Kolonell quotes maintenance after the support period separately, and the same translator for Spanish.
| Line over 36 months | Gibraltar agency (mid range) | Kolonell Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Website build | 15 000 GBP | 6 900 GBP |
| Support included after launch | Per contract | 6 months included |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 30 months at 140 GBP, 4 200 GBP | 4 200 GBP, maintenance quoted separately |
| Spanish version of key pages | Agency translation, about 1 200 GBP | Local translator, 1 200 GBP |
| Listings feed from your software | 14 hours at 95 GBP, 1 330 GBP | Included if the software offers an embed; a custom feed is quoted |
| Photos of apartments and offices | Local photographer, about 1 000 GBP | Same photographer, 1 000 GBP |
| Indicative total | About 22 730 GBP | About 13 300 GBP |
Ask every supplier to complete the same lines, including who updates the Spanish pages when your fees or services change.
What does each Kolonell plan cover for a Gibraltar property manager?
| Feature | Starter 2 300 GBP | Growth 3 900 GBP | Premium 6 900 GBP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Owner pages | One services page | Pages for resident owners, overseas investors and commercial landlords | Full owner section with onboarding steps and a fees page |
| Management request | Simple form | Qualified form (development, unit type, current status) | Qualified form routed by residential or commercial |
| Available homes and offices | Link to your listings | Listings embedded from your software | Embedded listings with pages by area (Town, Westside, South District, Ocean Village) |
| Tenant area | Link to your tenant tool | Tenant page with portal link and FAQ | Tenant section with guides, move in checklist and portal link |
| Repair requests | Contact form | Dedicated form with photo upload | Urgent and routine paths, building by building |
| Service charge and block management page | No | Yes | Yes, with a request form for residents' associations |
| Support after launch | 3 months | 3 months | 6 months |
A custom owner or tenant portal (statements, document signing, request tracking built for you) is an application quoted on request. Linking the portal that comes with your management software keeps the site inside a fixed price plan. Ongoing SEO is also quoted on request.
What does a Gibraltar property manager really need from a website?
Gibraltar packs a whole rental market into a few square kilometres. New towers on reclaimed land at Kings Wharf, Ocean Village and around Westside sit next to older Town flats and the South District, while office suites around Europort and the business district serve gaming, insurance and fund firms. Landlords range from local families to UK and international investors who bought off plan and never visit. Tenants are often professionals on contracts, plus cross frontier workers who weigh the Rock against La Línea. A site that wins owners should:
- Reassure remote investors: monthly statements, inspection reports, how rent reaches them.
- Separate residential, commercial and block management so each owner finds their service fast.
- Show live availability from your software, never a hand typed list.
- Serve tenants clearly: portal link, repair form, out of hours number, building rules.
- Publish your Google reviews and your team, because on a small territory reputation is everything.
For investor facing real estate sites, Kolonell built the trilingual FR/EN/AR site of Orven Properties, an off plan property consultancy in Dubai serving international buyers; the lesson that transfers is clear project pages and guides for owners who decide from abroad.
On compliance, facts only. Gibraltar applies the Gibraltar GDPR alongside its Data Protection Act 2004, with the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority acting as Information Commissioner; your forms need a clear privacy notice and a lawful basis for marketing emails. Landlord and tenant matters follow Gibraltar's own legislation, so describe your services accurately and avoid publishing template agreements as legal guidance. WCAG 2.2 AA is a sensible accessibility target. This is not legal advice.

Which red flags should you watch for in quotes?
- Spanish promised as included with no word on who writes it.
- A custom portal quoted by default when your software already provides one.
- No written list of pages, forms and integrations.
- Hosting and domain registered to the supplier.
- A low build price tied to a long mandatory retainer.
Ask each supplier who writes the owner pages, how listings sync, and what support covers after launch.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Daniel R. is operations manager at a firm managing 420 apartments and 30 office suites. A Costa del Sol studio quotes 11 000 EUR (about 9 350 GBP) for a bilingual site in 10 weeks. Kolonell proposes Premium at 6 900 GBP in English, with Spanish key pages from his usual translator at about 1 200 GBP, on a written five week plan.
Build gap: about 1 250 GBP, a modest difference that Daniel weighs against native English copy and a fixed scope. He then values one new mandate: a two bedroom apartment let at 2 000 GBP a month, at an 8 % fee, brings 160 GBP a month, or 1 920 GBP a year. The site guarantees no new owners; it makes the request easier to send.
