(a ‘real’ estate agency)
Established in 2009, Dales & Shires is a small, independent estate agency based in Yorkshire, offering a dedicated, skilled and proactive service.
We’re a solid, established firm – not an online agent, and not a franchise. From start to finish you’ll deal with one full-time, experienced property professional, and every valuation and viewing is carried out in-house, with no token local ‘representatives’.
We’re straight-talking, honest, friendly, approachable and transparent.

That covers free valuations, expert marketing advice, quality and drone photography, floorplans, plot maps and accompanied viewings.
We’re open 7 days a week, with viewings and valuations on any day – including evenings.
We Love Transparency
Unlike virtually all other UK estate agents, we never take referral fees or make any extra income from other services.
