About Morfitt Properties Tenerife

For those who haven’t visited the island for some time, some surprising changes have been taking place.

Lee Morfitt, owner of Morfitt Properties Tenerife, first came to the island in 1985 at a time when there was relatively little infrastructure. “There was just one hotel in the south and not an awful lot to do for the British residents who were buying property in Tenerife. I decided it wasn’t for me.”

Later, in search of a home overseas, he returned on the advice of a friend. “The island had changed beyond recognition. But it wasn’t just the vast array of things to do that were the draw. There was also the proximity to the UK and the excellent schools – an important consideration for a young family.”

Months later Lee and his family left their house in Derbyshire for a new home in the Tenerife sun, buying an ocean-view property in Costa Adeje. In 2003 he joined what was then the largest independent estate agent in Tenerife, Horizon Property Group.

By the following year, buoyed by his own success, he formed the partnership of Crossley, Morfitt and Lennox, a meeting of some of the most formidable minds in the Tenerife property market.

Following many successful years, Lee decided that it was time to take selling property in Tenerife to the next level and to promote his own ideas in Tenerife property sales – thus was born Morfitt Properties Tenerife.

Morfitt Properties Tenerife has quickly established itself as one of the key Tenerife estate agents, adapting to the changing landscape of the property industry worldwide during this economic downturn.

This ability to ‘change with the times’ is what identifies Morfitt Properties Tenerife from the many other Tenerife estate agents struggling to adapt their business models according to the changing market.

Lee’s agency works in conjunction with Mark Hussey of Tenerife Property Broker, a well-known and highly respected figure on the island. Although past president (and still active member) of the Tenerife Lions, this sporting legend is better known by his wrestling acronym - Mark ‘Rollerball Rocco’.

Although following gentler pursuits these days, Mark is an avid Tenerife aficionado, active in all aspects of Tenerife property promotion and marketing. The ex-wrestling champion has also become something of an accomplished local historian, extremely well-versed in the culture of Tenerife’s original inhabitants, the Guanches.

The alliance between Mark Hussey and Lee Morfitt brings together not only two great personalities of the island, but a combined experience of Tenerife property sales that will bring plenty of exclusive benefits and unique opportunities to clients of Morfitt Properties Tenerife.

The industry may be facing bleak times, but this tag-team means things are looking up for those looking to sell or buy property in Tenerife.

Even Lee is excited: “For the first time in my life, I look forward to getting up in the morning,” he says. “The sun shines, the sea sparkles and stress is a million miles away – well, at least two thousand.”
