GoogleWe recently bought our home through Dacre, Son & Hartley in Burley-in-Wharfedale and honestly, we couldn't be happier with how everything went. From start to finish, the whole experience was smooth, stress-free, and actually enjoyable, which isnβt something you often hear when it comes to buying a house!
Will and Sally were both absolutely brilliant. Will was friendly, professional, and really took the time to make sure we felt comfortable and informed at every step. He was always available to answer questions, kept us in the loop, and made the whole process feel really personal.
Sally was equally fantastic, calm, supportive, and incredibly organised. She quietly made sure everything stayed on track and was such a reassuring presence during the more stressful moments. You can tell they both genuinely care about their clients and take pride in what they do.
We never felt like we were just βanother saleβ, they really went the extra mile, and it made such a difference.
If you're looking to buy or sell in the area, we honestly couldnβt recommend Dacreβs in Burley enough. Huge thanks again to Will, Sally, and the whole team, weβre so grateful and absolutely love our new home!

GoogleWe bought our new property through Dacres in Burley in Wharfedale. We couldnβt be happier with the team and how helpful they were from arranging viewings and second viewings to answering questions and queries along the way. If it wasnβt for them the process would have definitely have taken longer and been a whole lot more stressful. They even continue to be responsive and supportive as we settle into our new home and community. Special thanks to Will and Sally for all their assistance. A big thank you to the Burley in Wharfedale Dacres team! Sophie and Lee Bancroft

GoogleWe 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 werenβt 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 Iβd highly recommend using Dacre at Settle again.

Special mention to Kelly Driver who clearly has the patience of a saint. If we happen to sell or buy again in Baildon, then we'll be back in touch no doubt.
Many thanks, Mr & Mrs Vosper.

Kelly was my point of contact and she really did go above and beyond as she was always there to answer any questions, talking through my options and providing sound advice.

GoogleThe staff at Dacre Son and Hartley Baildon particularly Kelly Driver and Jonathan Raynor were supportive ,informative and patient! during our 19 month process to sell and buy a house . There were complicating factors with one sale falling through towards the end of the process.
I always found Kelly easy to talk to and proactive within negotiations with all relevant parties . Both Kelly and Jonathan always had time for me and the dog!! as we called in to discuss the latest situation . Whilst abiding by all legal requirements they were proactive and solution focussed .They have a "can do "approach with a sense of humour, always good!
Thank you.

GoogleWe canβt thank Kelly enough for all her help during what was a really challenging time with our property. From start to finish, she was absolutely fantastic, her communication was always clear and reassuring, and she never left us in the dark. What really stood out was how dedicated she was to finding the information we needed, often going above and beyond to get answers quickly. It genuinely felt like she cared about us and our situation, and having her support made a stressful process so much easier given how much of a nightmare our chain was. We wouldnβt hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thank you again!

GoogleIf 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!

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 itβs stressful anyway but truly with Dacres it wasnβt.
ββAllβ 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 π«Άπ

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

GoogleA 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
