Dales & Shires

At Dales & Shires, we are a respected and independent estate agency, providing an outstanding, personal, and professional service to our clients. We have been successfully selling properties across the North of England since 2009 from our base in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

Our Background

With over 20 years of combined experience in the region's property markets, our skilled staff possess the knowledge and expertise to provide expert advice and achieve the best possible sales for our clients. We are proud members of the National Association of Estate Agents and The Property Ombudsman Scheme, ensuring that your property transactions are in safe and responsible hands.

Personal Service

We believe that a personable and dedicated approach is key to providing an exceptional service. We limit the number of properties on our books to a maximum of 15-20, allowing us to maintain a superb level of service and regular communication with each individual client. As our client, you will have a single point of contact who knows your property, situation, and sale completely.

Types of Property

We have extensive experience in selling a wide range of urban, village, and rural properties across all price brackets. We are particularly skilled in selling period properties and individual homes, including Grade II listed buildings, barn conversions, equestrian property, farmhouses, cottages, and land. Whether you're 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, we are ideally positioned 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. Quality marketing and maximum exposure combine to generate the highest level of serious interest and viewings, which in turn maximises your chance of receiving the best offers.

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 there are no charges if you change your mind and withdraw from the market. We also don't tie clients into long contract periods - we simply have a standard rolling notice period from the very start.

Reliability and Trust

We have built an excellent reputation over the years, with many loyal and repeat clients. We take great pride in our profession, professionalism, and commitment to providing a seamless and stress-free service. Our 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.
