Estate agents and letting agents in Chesterfield

Sell, let or buy property with Hunters Chesterfield

We’ve worked in Chesterfield for over 30 years, so we know this market street by street, not just postcode by postcode. From Newbold to Staveley, Brampton to Hasland, we’ve sold and let homes across every part of the town and its surrounding villages.

Our office sits at The Glass Yard business development on Sheffield Road, just on the edge of Chesterfield town centre. We’ve got free parking on site and we’re open six days a week, so booking a valuation or popping in to talk through a move fits around your schedule, not ours.

Our customers rate us 4.9 out of 5 from over 500 Google reviews, and we’ve been recognised at the ESTAS for seven years running, including Bronze for Best Letting Agent in the East Midlands, Silver for Best Sales Agent in the East Midlands, and Best in County for Derbyshire.

What we offer

Areas we cover across Chesterfield

We cover the whole of Chesterfield borough and the villages around it, from the town centre out to the Derbyshire Dales and the edge of Bolsover district. Here’s a closer look at what each part of our patch offers buyers, sellers, tenants and landlords.

Chesterfield town centre and Riverside

Chesterfield town centre, Boythorpe and Riverside Village sit right at the heart of the borough, within easy reach of the Crooked Spire, the historic open-air market and the Chesterfield Waterside regeneration scheme. Waterside has brought new-build apartments and a fresh wave of interest from young professionals and commuters using the direct rail link to Sheffield and beyond. It’s a strong spot for flats and town houses, with good rental demand from tenants who want to walk to work.

North Chesterfield

Our North patch covers Ashgate, Ashgate Heights, Barlow, Brockwell, Coal Aston, Cutthorpe, Dunston, Holme Hall, Linacre Woods, Loundsley Green, Newbold, New Whittington, Old Whittington, Stonegravels, Unstone, Upper Newbold and Whittington Moor, plus Dronfield and Eckington further out towards Sheffield. Newbold and Whittington Moor are firm favourites with landlords thanks to their proximity to Chesterfield Royal Hospital, while Ashgate and Old Whittington offer more established family housing with good access to open countryside.

East Chesterfield

To the east, we cover Arkwright Town, Brimington, Brimington Common, Calow, Hady, Hollingwood and Inkersall, through to Barrow Hill, Duckmanton, Lowgates, Mastin Moor, Middlecroft, Poolsbrook, Staveley and Woodthorpe, and further out to Barlborough, Bolsover, Bramley Vale, Carr Vale, Clowne, Creswell, Doe Lee, Glapwell, Palterton, Shuttlewood and Stanfree. Staveley and the wider Brimington corridor are at the centre of the East Midlands Investment Zone, bringing advanced manufacturing and logistics jobs to the area and driving fresh rental demand as workers relocate for new roles.

South Chesterfield

South of the town centre, we cover Birdholme, Derby Road, Grangewood, Grassmoor, Hasland, New Tupton, Old Tupton, Spital, Tupton and Wingerworth, along with Alfreton, Clay Cross, Danesmoor, Heath, Holmewood, Lower Pilsley, North Wingfield, Pilsley, Temple Normanton and Tibshelf further south. Hasland is popular with family tenants thanks to its closeness to Chesterfield Royal Hospital, while Clay Cross and Wingerworth offer some of the best value for buyers wanting more space for their money.

West Chesterfield and the Peak District fringe

Our western patch takes in Ashover, Brampton, Brookside, Holymoorside, Somersall and Walton. Brampton’s Chatsworth Road has become one of the town’s most sought-after addresses, known for its independent cafés, delis and boutique shops, while Ashover and Holymoorside sit right on the edge of the Peak District National Park — perfect for buyers after village life with the town still close by.

Why buyers and tenants choose Chesterfield

Chesterfield offers a rare combination in the current market: genuine affordability alongside serious investment. The town centre is in the middle of a £2 billion regeneration programme, taking in Chesterfield Waterside, the Spire Neighbourhood and the Station Masterplan, and Staveley now sits within the East Midlands Investment Zone, bringing advanced manufacturing and clean-industry jobs to the borough.

Transport is a genuine selling point. The train station has direct services to London in under two hours, and the Aurora service gets commuters into Sheffield in around 12 minutes, so buyers priced out of the city are increasingly looking here instead. The M1 is close by, and East Midlands and Doncaster Sheffield airports are both within 45 minutes.

Beyond the numbers, Chesterfield has real character. The famous Crooked Spire, the 800-year-old open-air market and Queen’s Park give the town centre plenty of identity, and the Peak District National Park is on the doorstep for anyone who wants rolling hills and walking country at the weekend.

Landlords: what the Renters’ Rights Act means for you

The Renters’ Rights Act is now in force across England, and it changes how every landlord manages their tenancies, whether you own one property or a whole portfolio.

The biggest change is the end of Section 21 ‘no-fault’ evictions. All tenancies are now periodic from the outset, so there’s no fixed term you can simply let run out. Regaining possession now means using one of the specified grounds under Section 8, with the correct paperwork and notice periods.

For Chesterfield landlords, that means:

• Reviewing existing tenancy agreements to make sure they reflect the new rules
• Keeping clear records of rent payments, maintenance requests and correspondence
• Using the correct prescribed forms for every notice you serve
• Understanding the updated grounds for possession, including selling a property or moving in a family member

Every landlord in England also now needs to register with the new Private Rented Sector Ombudsman. It isn’t optional, and getting it right protects you as much as your tenants.

We work with landlords across Chesterfield, from first-time investors to established portfolio owners, and can talk you through exactly what the changes mean for your properties.

Frequently asked questions

How much is my property worth in Chesterfield?

It depends on the area, condition and current demand. The average sold price across Chesterfield is around £217,856 to £228,838 depending on the data source, but individual streets vary widely – a Brampton semi and a Whittington Moor terrace won’t be valued the same way.
