Areas we cover
Harrogate town centre (HG1)
HG1 covers the historic core of Harrogate, including the Montpellier Quarter, Valley Gardens and the streets climbing toward the Stray. The property mix leans toward one and two-bedroom flats, making it a popular starting point for first-time buyers and investors, alongside a strong rental market for young professionals.
HG2 (South Harrogate, Oatlands, Pannal)
HG2 takes in South Harrogate, Oatlands and Pannal, and commands some of the town’s highest average prices, driven by family houses, good schools and easy access to the train line into Leeds and York.
Bilton
Bilton sits just north of the town centre and offers a mix of terraced and semi-detached housing, popular with families and commuters wanting easy access to the centre without HG1 prices.
Beckwithshaw and the HG3 villages
Toward HG3, villages including Beckwithshaw offer a more rural setting with larger detached properties, appealing to buyers who want space while staying within commuting distance of Harrogate, Leeds and York.
Landlords and the Renters’ Rights Act
Our lettings team, led by Senior Lettings Manager Chris Borges, offers tenant find only, rent collection and fully managed services, with a nil excess rent protection policy available for extra reassurance.
The Renters’ Rights Act, in force since May 2026, includes:
- Abolition of Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions
- Conversion of fixed-term tenancies to rolling periodic contracts
- Rent increase limits via Section 13 notices
- A tenant’s right to request to keep a pet, which landlords cannot unreasonably refuse
- A mandatory Government Information Sheet for all landlords
We review every managed tenancy against the current rules and can talk you through what the Act means for your property.
