Founded in the U.K. in 1973, Duffy & Company has a long-established history and continues to operate in Sussex today. John Duffy MRICS, a Chartered Surveyor, first came to Antigua through his passion for sailing, successfully competing in Antigua Sailing Week, before relocating to the island with his wife Lindsay in 2005.
In 2021, almost 48 years after founding the company in the U.K., John established Duffy & Company in Antigua. Sadly, John passed away in late 2023 after a short battle with cancer. Following his passing, Colin Baldwin and Helen Pearce acquired the company, bringing together over 45 years of combined experience in property development and property management. With decades of experience owning and managing both commercial and residential property in the U.K., they are proud to continue building on the strong legacy John created.
Operating from Jolly Harbour, Duffy & Company serves clients across Antigua and, where appropriate, other Caribbean islands. Our services include residential and commercial sales, land and building plots, long-term rentals, property management, and architectural and design services. With over 40 years of experience in the property industry across both the U.K. and Antigua, we place strong emphasis on efficiency, professionalism, and service that goes beyond the traditional laid-back Caribbean approach.
We welcome new clients and buyers from around the world. If you would like to receive email notifications for new listings or price changes, please let us know and we will add you to our mailing list. While the prime selling season in Antigua runs from December to May, opportunities are available year-round, often at more competitive prices during the summer months.
If you are planning a visit to Antigua to view properties, we are happy to assist with accommodation and transport arrangements. For longer stays, car hire is often more economical than taxis, while local bus services offer a budget-friendly alternative.

Amazing stay! Hosts greeted us and gave excellent local recommendations. Place was clean, recently renovated, well stocked, plenty of towels, linens, and beach towels. We stayed as a family of 5 with 3 kids and there was enough space for everyone to spread out. Board games kept the kids busy after the beach. Location is super convenient for the beach, restaurants, and supermarket. Area is safe and walkable. Great value for money!
Helen at Duffy & Co managed my property at Jolly Harbour for around 2 years. She is probably the most organised person I have ever met and took no time to sort the records and get on with it. I felt in safe hands. As they managed my property, Duffy seemed the obvious choice when I decided to sell. Helen was fantastic throughout. She got me the price I wanted and was there for me throughout.
I would like to sincerely thank the Duffy Team for the outstanding support and professionalism shown throughout the purchase of my villa in Antigua. From the first viewing to completion, they were knowledgeable, responsive and proactive, guiding me smoothly through every stage of what could have been a complex overseas transaction. Their clear communication, attention to detail and local expertise gave me complete confidence, and they went above and beyond to ensure everything progressed efficiently and without unnecessary stress. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone looking to purchase property in Antigua.
As villa owners, it’s incredibly important to us that our home is cared for as if it were their own, and that’s exactly what we’ve found with the Duffy Property Management team. From day one, they’ve been hands-on, responsive and genuinely invested in both the property and our guests’ experience. The guest meets on arrival make a real difference — providing a friendly face, local knowledge and reassurance after travel. It sets the tone for a relaxed, well-managed stay, and we regularly hear how much guests value that personal touch. Knowing everything is handled so professionally gives us complete confidence and genuine peace of mind.
