Expansion into Cyprus, Turkey

Medsea Estates Group PLC 23 November 2005 For immediate release 23 November 2005 MEDSEA ESTATES GROUP PLC ('Medsea or 'the Company') MEDSEA AND HEADLANDS IN MAJOR MARKETING DEAL Spanish-based estates group Medsea and overseas property developers and real estate agents Headlands International have just signed a marketing agreement giving each company an instant and significant presence in countries outside of their traditional areas. The deal means that Medsea increases its portfolio of locations through Headlands offices in Cyprus, Portugal and Turkey. Headlands will now also market the investment and holiday homes offered through Euro Med, part of the Medsea group. This reflects Medsea's stated expansion programme and follows hard on the heels of its move into the fast growing Italian market. Says Medsea's Chairman Tony Gatehouse: 'This deal immediately makes Medsea a major player in Cyprus, Portugal and Turkey, and boosts Headlands operation in Spain. We are confident that the arrangement will not only help our existing agents increase market share, but also attract new agents in all locations.' Headlands International was established more than 35 years ago and has been a consistent winner of a range of awards at the annual Bentley International Property Awards, including this year's Best International Estate Agent, for the second consecutive year. It has a UK headquarters and offices in Portugal, Cyprus, Turkey and Spain. Like Medsea it offers a wide range of properties - both new and resale - and provides unbiased advice and an individual service. AIM-listed Medsea Estates Group was established by Tony Gatehouse, who has over 20 years experience of the Spanish property market. Over the past seven years the Group has expanded rapidly and is now one of the top half a dozen leading agents within the area, and the only one to work substantially with independent agents in the UK and Ireland. Commenting on the alliance Headlands International Managing Partner Stephen Headland said: 'This is a very exciting time for the company we are continually moving forward and expanding into new areas. The synergy we have with Medsea serves only to enhance both our portfolios of quality homes for clients in the UK and Ireland looking to realise their dream holiday or investment property in the sun.'
