Verity Frearson

We aren’t your typical estate agent. At Verity Frearson, we’ve spent over a century matching people with property across Harrogate and Nidderdale. While we are proud of our history, we are even prouder of our reputation as forward-thinking marketers who do things differently to get you the best result.

Our approach is simple: we combine deep local know-how with national exposure through our network of 600 offices. Whether you are selling a town-centre apartment or a rural family home, we focus on making your property stand out from the crowd.

Why We Are Harrogate’s Market Leader

We don't just list properties; we sell them faster and for more money. Last year alone, we sold 752 homes, maintaining our position as the top-selling agent in the area.

Led by Local Experts

Our team is the heartbeat of our business. We are led by Directors Matthew Stamford and James Verity, who bring decades of hands-on experience to every valuation.

• Matthew Stamford: With over 18 years in the business, Matthew’s passion for property and straight-talking approach has been the driving force behind our success.
• James Verity: A qualified Chartered Surveyor since 2008, James literally grew up in the business, holding the end of his father’s tape measure at inspections from the age of eight.

Professional RICS Valuations & Lettings

We offer more than just standard market appraisals. Because James is a Chartered Surveyor, we provide professional RICS valuations for formal reports, including mortgage lending, probate, and court proceedings.

Our dedicated lettings department, managed by Kelly Jackson, provides the same high-standard service for landlords and tenants, ensuring your investment is managed with the care it deserves.

"We focus on being daring to be different. In a crowded market, your home needs a creative edge to capture the right buyer's attention."
