John Pallister Ltd

Over 50 Years of Ribble Valley Heritage

We are a family firm built on a legacy that stretches back to the 1930s. While our current practice was founded in 1972, we follow the traditions of Matthew Pallister, a renowned local auctioneer and valuer. Today, we remain a family-run business led by John Pallister, supported by his son Richard and daughter Catherine.

We often describe ourselves as a "Jack of all trades," but we take immense pride in being masters of every discipline we undertake. Whether you are buying your first home in Clitheroe, managing a large agricultural estate in the Hodder Valley, or navigating a commercial lease, we provide the same level of personal attention and professional integrity.

While our expertise has grown to include significant residential and commercial interests, our roots are firmly planted in the soil of the North West. We are uniquely positioned to handle the complexities of rural property, from fishing rights to pipeline negotiations.
