About / Hamptons International
Hamptons International
Hamptons, a British estate agency since 1869, bringing its name and its international network to the coast here, across Sitges and the Garraf, Barcelona, Girona and the Costa Brava.
One of Britain’s best-known estate agencies
Hamptons was established in 1869 on Pall Mall East in London, in premises it shared with the National Gallery. More than a century and a half later it remains one of the most recognised names in British residential property, with over eighty offices across London and the south of England.
Since 2021 Hamptons has been part of Connells Group, the largest estate-agency and property-services group in the United Kingdom. In 2025 the group was involved in around 86,000 property transactions, roughly one in ten home moves in the country. It is a name recognised far beyond the United Kingdom.

The association, and what it means here
Barleigh Ellis works in collaboration and in association with Hamptons International. It is a working relationship between agents: the valuation, the viewings, the negotiation and the completion are handled here, locally and by us, while the association opens your home to buyers across the Hamptons network worldwide. Local knowledge and an international name, joining forces for one simple aim: the best result for you.
For a seller, your home is placed in front of exactly the international audience most likely to be looking for it, wherever in the world they are. For a buyer, from anywhere, it means a name you can trust with a local team working for you on the ground.
In Sitges, Hamptons International works exclusively with Barleigh Ellis, from its office at Port d’Aiguadolç, and from there we act for buyers and sellers across the Garraf, Barcelona, Girona and the Costa Brava. One local, licensed team, from the first conversation to the notary, with the standing and the reach of Hamptons behind it.
Hamptons International and the Hamptons marks are the property of their owner and are used by Barleigh Ellis under the terms of its association. Information on this page is provided for general guidance only.
