Dacre, Son & Hartley

We’ve been at the heart of the Yorkshire property market for over two centuries. As one of the region’s longest-established estate agents and chartered surveyors, we combine a deep-rooted heritage with a forward-thinking approach to buying, selling, and managing property.

Our longevity is a testament to our adaptability. We have successfully navigated every market trend since the early 19th century, ensuring our clients always receive insights and advice they can trust.

We don't just list properties; we understand the nuances of the local market, the value of specific postcodes, and the best strategies to achieve the right results for our clients.

A Network of 17 Local Branches
