See what our customers say about Hunters Skipton team:

Andrew Procter and his team recently represented our family in the sale of my elderly mother's house and I cannot speak highly enough of the advice and support the Hunters Skipton team offered us throughout what turned out to be (through no fault of theirs) a very tricky transaction. Even in a difficult market, the valuation Andrew gave was accurate, the marketing of my mother's property was professionally carried out, with an excellent 360 degrees virtual tour which really gave prospective purchasers a feel for the property, and actual viewings were conducted by Mel in a very caring and sensitive manner. Towards the end of the transaction, we also employed the services of Rory and the Hunters rentals team which was extremely valuable and conducted in just the same professional, courteous and caring manner. Indeed everyone we spoke to at Hunters was as friendly and helpful as could be, phone calls and emails were answered promptly and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. When the sale completed, to everyone's delight - including the very happy purchasers - we felt as though we were saying goodbye to friends. Thank you Andrew, Mel, Rory and teams. I have no hesitation in highly recommending your services.

Mrs N, Skipton

We obtained four market appraisals for our home. Hunters made the most professional presentation and their valuation was in the middle. Web ads very impressive with excellent photos. Within 10 weeks they had found us a cash buyer prepared to pay the full asking price. We were delighted. Thereafter the sale went through without a hitch. Very nice and competent people to deal with. Recommended.

Mr W- of Grassington

We have used Hunters Skipton for the sale of our house and also for the purchase of our new property. I would highly recommend Andrew and his team at Hunters. They are very professional, friendly and approachable and keep you updated throughout the process. Andrew conducted all our viewings and due to his professional and knowledgeable approach we were successful in the sale. Many Thanks to all at Hunters Skipton!

Miss N - Skipton

We put our property up for sale with Hunters. We had TWO offers for the house within 8 weeks of it going on the market at the price we wanted. We were delighted. A previous estate agent hadn't managed to do that in the 6 months it was on the market with them. We found the team at Hunters to be professional, helpful and proactive at all times and can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you Hunters in Skipton.

Miss L, Skipton
