Expert Guidance, Personalized Service, Exceptional Results
At Dales & Shires, we are a respected and independent estate agency, providing an outstanding, personal and professional service to our clients. Our team of experienced professionals has a deep understanding of the region's diverse property markets and are dedicated to delivering exceptional results for our clients.
Background
We are a small and independently owned estate agency, established in 2009. Based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, we cover Yorkshire, Cumbria, and surrounding areas. Our skilled staff have worked in the region's property markets for over 20 years, providing us with the knowledge and expertise to offer expert advice and achieve the best possible sales.
Personal Service
Many estate agencies focus on maximising the number of properties on their books, but we believe that this approach does not necessarily result in the best level of service for each individual client. At Dales & Shires, we provide a bespoke and very personal service. We limit the number of properties on our books to ensure that each client receives a superb level of service and regular communication. We usually handle a maximum of 15-20 properties at any one time, allowing us to provide a tailored service that meets each client's unique needs.
Types of Property
We have extensive experience in selling a wide range of urban, village, and rural properties, covering all price brackets. We are particularly experienced in selling period properties and individual homes, including Grade II listed buildings, barn conversions, equestrian properties, farmhouses, cottages, and land. Whether you are selling an apartment in Leeds, a terraced house in York, a farmhouse in the Dales, or anything in between, we can help.
Where We Cover
From our Harrogate base in the heart of Yorkshire, we are ideally placed to deal with properties throughout the North of England. We cover Yorkshire, Cumbria, and surrounding counties, including the Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors, the Lake District, East Coast, Yorkshire Wolds, and Teesdale. We also regularly sell further afield across the UK, especially for repeat clients and word of mouth recommendations from previous clients.
Superb Marketing - Included as Standard
Presentation and communication are key when it comes to selling properties. All of our properties benefit from attractive wide-angle photography, clear floorplans, and well-written sales details. We communicate your property's key selling points, helping to attract the best potential buyers for each property. We include aerial photography, plot maps, and satellite imagery where it would be beneficial for each property, ensuring maximum exposure and generating serious interest.
No Hidden Catches
Our proposition is simple - we charge a reasonable and competitive sales fee, and we only get paid when we have completed a successful sale. Unlike many agents, we do not charge extra for photography, there are no hidden/small print catches, and we do not charge if you change your mind and withdraw from the market. We also do not tie clients into long contract periods, offering a standard rolling notice period from the start.
Reliability and Trust
We have built an excellent reputation over the years, with many loyal and repeat clients. We are proud of the fact that much of our business comes from recommendation and word of mouth. We take great pride in our profession and professionalism, and are long-term members of the National Association of Estate Agents and The Property Ombudsman Scheme. Clients can be reassured that their property transactions are in safe and responsible hands.
The Right Advice - When it Matters Most
Each property is individual, markets fluctuate, and each client will have their own priorities and considerations. We provide our clients with the essential advice, specialist marketing, and expertise required to sell successfully. At Dales & Shires, we understand the importance of providing expert advice when it matters most.
