Knight Frank Harrogate 24 Albert Street, Harrogate HG1 1JT

The Knight Frank Harrogate office is an important strategic hub in our national network allowing us to provide the very best local and national coverage from Cornwall to Kent, London to Edinburgh. This exposure is vital for anybody selling a property in the Harrogate district given the number of our buyers moving to the area from out of Yorkshire has consistently grown year on year since 2010, most notably increasing to 40% over the last 12 months.

With Harrogate widely regarded as one of the most sought after residential locations in the North of England, our in-depth knowledge of the market means we are able to match both town and country property to the best possible buyers. Backed up by a research department that is second to none, we can

WELCOME TO LOCAL VIEWWelcome to the latest edition of Local View, our seasonal update on the property markets that matter to you. Along with a brief review of activity in Harrogate, we have also included a preview of some of the beautiful properties we currently have available. Please contact our local team for more information and to find out what other opportunities we can offer.

“With wonderful countryside, excellent schooling, high quality housing, diverse shopping and restaurants as well as improving infrastructure, it’s no wonder the Harrogate district continues to attract buyers not only from across Yorkshire but increasingly from elsewhere in the UK especially London and the south east as well as overseas.”

MEET THE TEAM

provide market appraisals you can really trust. At present, townhouses on The Duchy or south side of Harrogate remain popular with buyers seeking all the benefits of urban living. By contrast demand is increasing for country property across the district, with those in villages that are well located for commuting to Leeds, Bradford and York seen as particularly desirable.

You can expect personal and attentive service from Knight Frank, a trusted advisor to support you through the process of buying and selling a property and to help resolve any difficulties that you may come across along the way.

Tim Waring has over 30 years’ experience in the Yorkshire residential property market. He opened the Harrogate office in 2005 with Lindsey Thomas who now has over 13 years’ experience after a career in the banking sector. Lindsey specialises in the country market with the team expanding in 2013 following the appointment of James Bryan utilising his 10 years of experience in the town market.

Efficient and effective support is provided by the experience of bilingually trained Fiona Lippell and Jessica Hartley whose additional respective roles include property viewings and our extensive marketing and PR campaigns. The Harrogate team also includes dedicated viewing staff Jill Alexander, Lorraine Crowther and Jane Keogh who combine with Fiona and provide a comprehensive seven days a week accompanied viewing service.

T he diverging fortunes of the prime London property market when compared with the country house market is helping to fuel a steady exodus from the capital to the countryside. For many, the meteoric rise in the value of their

London home in recent years is providing the perfect springboard to greener pastures.

From Hampshire to Yorkshire, Sussex to Scotland, buyers are seeing the proceeds of their London sale go further than ever before, with provincial town and country property proving an irresistible draw. They are being joined by international buyers too, who are discovering the UK’s rural charm and have been leading the bidding on some of the country’s biggest estate sales recently.

The lifestyle benefits are one of the key attractions – the opportunity to swap the constant hum of traffic and a coffee shop on every corner for the sound of cockerels and an orchard in the garden. As well as the idyllic country property and grounds, there’s also the landscape on your doorstep.

Add to this a plethora of good schools, an enviable work-life balance and great food (Yorkshire has more Michelin starred restaurants than any other county outside London), and it’s easy to see why so many purchasers are actively looking for their next home beyond the capital.

Technology improvements including reliable internet can mean working from home is a viable option. As such those leaving London can choose to retain their work links with the capital while cutting down on their commuting time and costs. Pick the right location, and you can find that your train to the office is quicker than commuting from Fulham or Chelsea.

The move to the country can also create new forms of income. Larger properties and more land open up the possibility to do anything from renting out holiday cottages to growing your own vegetables.

Whether you are looking for a country property or are considering selling, good local advice is vital. Here in Harrogate, we also find that many deals are concluded off market, or depend on buyers being able to move fast to secure the most desirable properties. If this is of interest, our team would be delighted to tell you more.
