If you're looking to sell your home, I can highly recommend the Dacres team in Baildon. Kelly swiftly assisted with selling our much loved family home within 4 weeks of it being advertised. The pictures Omar took were outstanding and the customer service and care from the whole team was superb. From advertising with Dacres to being in our new property took a fantastic 5 months. Kelly provided great care in supporting us through the sale process and I would recommend the team here for anyone looking for an honest and experienced Agency to sell their home. Make sure you request Omar for your pics. Thanks again Kelly!

Louis and the team a Dacre, Son & Hartley have been fantastic. We had many ups & downs in the selling of our house but hey help us navigate them with calm professionalism. It's a stressful time selling and doing house and the team at Dacre's were superb in their support. Photo's, listing & viewings were all managed wonderfully. We would 100% recommend them. Thank you again!!

Absolutely blown away with your amazing service. Seamless from start to finish. I did review the other local estate agents but very impressed with Dacres. My house went on the market two weeks before Christmas and I accepted an offer first week in January. All the home visits well managed and then the next stages were smooth! We all know it’s stressful anyway but truly with Dacres it wasn’t. ‘’All’ the Baildon team were fantastic but extra thanks go out to Jonathan and the amazing Kelly, always super professional and kept me informed every step of this journey in selling my house. Bless even when I had happy tears in accepting my buyers offer. Thanks Dacres in Baildon and would definitely recommend anyone wanting to sell or buy their house with Dacres. Kelly as you know we will be selling our next house with you guys again shortly. Thank you Dacres 🫶💓

From Start to Finish, everyone in the office was brilliant. We were kept well informed, every step of the way. Special mention must go to the incredible Kelly, who went out of her way to ensure that we were never left in the dark. We hit a few bumps, but never felt stressed, as Kelly kept her cool and relaxed us. We built up a great rapport with Kelly and it was an absolute pleasure working with her. Thank you.

We bought our current property through Dacres Baildon branch. Kelly dealt with our purchase and we couldn't have asked for a more attentive professional to help us through the process. A while later, Jonathan came round to do us a valuation to help us decide on our next steps and again was very helpful and gave us some great advise. We would highly recommend them and we would use them again without hesitation.

I had the most amazing team at the Baildon branch especially Kelly Driver where nothing was too much trouble. Kelly went above and beyond explained the whole process once my house had sold communicated every step, and was on hand to answer any of my questions. I cannot thank Dacres and the team enough. I would definitely recommend 😀

Local knowledge international service Responsive thoughtful informed and customer focused I live in America and yet have managed to find an agent that has given me a seamless service both buying and selling locally in Ilkley without a misstep .. in particular due to the above the fact that different people are aware of the same property sale and progress information suggests a tight internal communication and sharing which is ideal

A very poor experience. We instructed Dacres in Guiseley and a key selling point they offered was the local branch network, as we wished to remain in the area. After taking our instruction they promptly closed the Guiseley branch - the agent of the retail unit has confirmed they exercised a break clause in the tenancy, therefore would have known they were closing the branch while telling us they had local knowledge and presence. This is frankly underhand, even in a profession which has a bad reputation. They failed to remove the For Sale board despite several requests to do so - at one point saying the 'board man couldn't find it' - despite the fact it was lying on the ground in the front garden. Avoid this agent - there's plenty of others. - As they closed the Guiseley branch I am leaving a 1 Star review on the earest local branches in the area of our property search

The best customer service we've ever received. From start to finish, Dacres Baildon have been brilliant and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Kelly and Jonathan go above and beyond and have managed our sale with absolute professionalism and good humour.

A very poor experience. Closed the Guiseley branch shortly after we instructed them, they would surely have known it was closing but promised “local knowledge”. Failed to remove the For Sale sign despite countless requests. Communication was almost nonexistent from them. Estate agency probably has a low bar but Dacres failed to clear it, and failed badly.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are naturally very disappointed and surprised by your comments, as our records show regular communication with you throughout your time marketing with Dacres. Out of the many vendor calls we have on record, on 10th October 2024 we discussed your marketing to date, during which you confirmed you were happy with the service received but were considering a short marketing break. You later provided notice of withdrawal on 21st October 2024, specifically stating “we appreciate this is a very challenging market and we have no complaints about the service or professionalism of Dacres, we have been very happy with the advice and marketing of the property'. With regard to the sale board, this service is managed by a third-party supplier. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and understand that collection was made more difficult as the board was stored in your garage. I also emailed you directly in March to confirm whether the board was still there, as the supplier had advised they attended but could not locate it. Unfortunately, I did not receive a reply to that email. The closure of the Guiseley branch was a sudden and difficult decision, and we communicated the situation to clients as quickly as possible. The same experienced team continues to support the area, ensuring our local knowledge and service standards remain unchanged. We are proud of our dedicated staff and the many positive reviews we continue to receive. Nevertheless, we sincerely wish you every success with your ongoing sale and hope you achieve the move you’re looking for.

I had such a positive experience working with Will Shakeshaft-Gee at Dacre, Son & Hartley of Burley in Wharfedale. Will is an absolute gem; so patient, helpful and genuinely kind. Nothing was ever too much trouble and he really took the time to understand what I was looking for. I’ve found my dream house! His communication has been excellent throughout and I have felt informed and supported. I have been incredibly impressed by his professionalism and care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Will and the team at the Burley office. Thank you ☺️

Right from the start Nick came and spoke to us and was very nice and compassionate as we were selling my mums house who we'd just lost. He was very informative and professional and then Harriet through the whole process was very good and kept me informed as asked. I cannot thank them enough. EXCELLENT SERVICE.CAN HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Dacres did a great job selling my Mother’s house. Michael Ward, in particular was extremely proactive and kept me informed throughout the process. I would not hesitate to use Dacres again.

We used Dacre in Settle initially to try and sell a property. I worked closely with Tom, the manager, and despite regular contact and Tom following instructions quickly to amend the price on a couple of occasions, we weren’t able to sell. Tom clearly explained what the market conditions are and helped to manage my expectations accordingly. Therefore, I decided to let the property. Tom and his team did everything needed to get this done as quickly as possible and I’d highly recommend using Dacre at Settle again.

We sold our previous cottage very quickly with Dacres in Settle at a value that exceeded the asking price. Knowing what we were looking for Dacres found our current property which exceeded our expectations. Their professional, personalised approach and genuine interest made the whole process so much easier for us. Thank you.

Excellent service. After using many estate agents to view houses over the last year. Dacre, Son and Hartley was by far the best. They always made availability for you, even on weekends which was something I found frustrating with other estate agents. They came across like they wanted to sell you a property by putting 100% effort into their clients, rather than wanting to clock off at 3pm like some of the others. But they also maintained a level of respect without any pressure selling. They all had good knowledge when asked about their properties and if they didn’t have an answer they would always find out for you from another colleague. I would like to thank the team who dealt with me; Ian, Lily, Dee and Ellie who were all so helpful in their own ways and made the journey buying my house a stress free and easy one. They were always there on the other end of the phone if I needed them and was always so polite despite how many times I would call in a week. If you find your dream home and Dacre, Son and Hartley are the estate agent managing it, you’re one of the lucky ones as they are clearly the best in this area alone. Thank you Dacre.

As First time buyers, me and my partners were experiencing a lot of stress through this process. All I can say is Lily and Dee were both extremely helpful and caring during the process of the purchase. They were both knowledgable and kind, and also assisted with chasing our solicitors (typical!). Could not recommend them enough! Thank you!
