I need estate agents that sell houses in the North of England. I don't need links to their sites, just the names please. TIA.

Don't most big names - Halifax, Whitegates, etc - have northern offices?

Thank you. I have never heard of Whitegates and would have forgotten Halifax.

Whereabouts are you looking at? The north's a big place! Most local newspapers have property websites too so if you know you want to go to a certain town, look on the newspaper's website at the property section. Hope that helps.

Yorkshire. Thanks for the newspaper tip.

Reeds Rains is a big one. Owned by Countrywide I believe.

WriggleJiggle · 07/01/2009 23:40

Charltons
Sandersons
Norman F Brown

All pretty small ones I think.

NAB3lovelychildren · 08/01/2009 08:03

Thank you. All help.

I am in Yorkshire NAB, if you are moving York is a lovely place to live in

NAB3lovelychildren · 08/01/2009 09:27

I was born in York

Not moving, have to keep an eye on something that is all.

Thanks for the new suggestions. And for your input on my other thread bellavita.

Reed Rains
Blundells (I found them a bit unscrupulous though)

NAB3lovelychildren · 08/01/2009 09:48

What did they do?

OP posts:
FeelingLucky · 08/01/2009 09:59

There were rumours that they lied about offers to encourage gazumping. If you do a search on them in the local paper you might find out more. But just after I left Sheffield in 2000, I heard that the owner was taken to court.
NOTE: ALL THIS IS HEARSAY

Manning Stainton - mainly Leeds but also Bradford/Wakefield

fryalot · 08/01/2009 10:11

Yorkshire estate agents

NAB3lovelychildren · 08/01/2009 10:14

Thanks again

Just rejoining this thread as I will need the info soon.

NAB3lovelychildren · 13/01/2009 13:48

Do I have to put this on my watch thread to not lose it?

OP posts:
Fizzylemonade · 13/01/2009 15:18

Yes stick it on your thread watch.

I'm near Leeds if that helps. I have been watching the market for several years here so I tend to use both propertyfinder and rightmove as Halifax only advertise on one and some others only do propertyfinder.

I find it covers all the estate agents as listed above namely manning stainton, David Moor, Richard Kendal, William H Brown, Reeds Reins, Your Move, House Network etc

pickledHAN · 13/01/2009 15:31

Am in North Yorkshire if you want things keeping an eye on locally or we can help at all...

NAB3lovelychildren · 13/01/2009 15:50

Thank you very much.

lalalonglegs · 13/01/2009 19:16

Has anyone mentioned Dacre Son & Hartley, or am I too late?

NAB3lovelychildren · 13/01/2009 19:38

I still need more and won't be able to use the info for a while so all ideas welcome, thank you.
