GoogleWhen we relocated to Settle, Dacre, Son and Hartley couldn't have done more to help us find our perfect home. From the first negotiations to dealing with the occasional 'wobble' in the chain, they were available to talk to. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thank you Dacres!

TrustpilotWould highly recommend
Would highly recommend. Staff in at the West Park office (thanks Jen and Amie) were very professional, helpful and did exactly what was promised. Throughout the viewing process they kept us up to date, always had a named contact who was prompt to respond to questions. When it came to completing the sale - we had many issues agents in the chain and solicitors, however Jen and Amie chased up, kept us informed and I felt were always working in our best interests.

TrustpilotPateley Bridge - Top service
Alison from Dacre at Pateley Bridge was fantastic with our move. She was proactive in finding us our home by reaching out to us whenever a new property that we could be interested in came on the market, she kept us updated throughout and was always on the ball to make sure the sale went through as quickly as possible always one step ahead with the solicitors and seller. 12 weeks in total for the sale to go through …would definitely recommend Dacre and Alison for your house sale or purchase

TrustpilotA disappointing service
Such a disappointing service from Dacres. Getting to the point of having your home valued is a big thing, especially in the current climate. And having worked hard on making significant improvements to the house, the descriptions received by the valuer were unfair, mostly negative and insulting. There was a lot of talking and very little listening. Realistic and constructively critical comments are one thing, insults are another and there are ways in which you can support and guide a potential vendor without making them feel so uncomfortable and upset in the process. Sadly, this isn't an estate agent I would either recommend or use based on this.

TrustpilotSold house via Dacres
Sold house via Dacres, not a fast process from them, took ages to upload our home on different websites. Sara was the best, more helpful then anyone else there. We been advised the house will be available on different websites inc: Right move etc, on some websites the house not appeared. also been told we will get shoe cover (never got it). been told we potentially can get 200-215 for the house and once we received the first offer of 195 benn told to accept this as we won't get anything better. Not a great service. Not using Morley service again

Thank you for taking the time to offer this feedback for our Morley office. We work hard to provide a 5-star service for every customer and are sorry to hear that you didn’t feel to have had this experience on this occasion. The property market can be very dynamic, and property values can fluctuate based on various factors especially at a time of increasing base and mortgage rates. All aspects of the offer were carefully considered, including the buyer's financial standing, the current market conditions, and any benefits to a faster sale. If you'd like to discuss anything further, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

TrustpilotGreat service from Ian Bradbury at Darce Son & Hartley
Ian B at Darce Son and Hartley was friendly and professional. His reassuring manner, mixed with his knowledge and understanding, gave us complete confidence every step of the way. It’s rare to find someone who truly listens and cares, and Ian went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled for us. I would highly recommend Darce Son and Hartley, especially because of Ian’s outstanding service. Thank you for making a positive buying experience.

GoogleWe've just completed our house purchase from Dacres in Settle. We have been looking for a house in the Dales for a long time and when we saw this one advertised we made an appoint to view it straight away and made our offer. Tom, Andrew, Mel and Anthea were really good to deal with. Anthea showed us around the house and then Tom talked me through making the offer. We love the house and the area and are so grateful for Dacres assistance. Without them it wouldn't have been possible!

GoogleFrom “day one,” Dacre’s in Settle managed the marketing / promotion of my home in a highly professional manner. What I especially appreciated was the willingness of Tom Galloway and his team to make themselves available and assist me and my wife whenever necessary. That level of customer service excellence greatly encouraged us and I therefore have no reservations in strongly recommending Dacre’s Settle to anyone considering marketing and selling their home

GoogleWe recently bought a property using Dacre, son and Hartley. The office staff were all very pleasant and helpful. Communication between us and the vendors was handled promptly mainly by Tom the office manager. Anthea from the office showed us around the property and was extremely helpful. She took the time to write out a list of places to visit in the area once the sale progressed. Melanie was also very good at getting back to us about any queries we raised. The new office worker Andrew was very polite and helpful too. Tom has a very efficient and friendly team working in Settle. They are all knowledgeable and appear to take a pride in their working relationships with clients. When the sale was finalised we got a very unexpected gift from the office. They handed us a fabulous gift hamper box which had useful coupons and money off products bought at AO for example. We got £30 off the price of a washing machine. There were chocolates, sweets and washing and cleaning products all of which were very useful. It was such a nice gesture and something we have never had from an estate agent before. Thank you to all the team in Settle for doing such a super job !

TrustpilotTerrible service
Terrible service, unethical and will screw you over as a buyer as soon as look at you. Had an issue with our sale, but they stated they'd keep the chain together. They didn't, they have said they were contacted by someone who found out, but there was no need to do this. We were back procedable by the Wednesday. On the Thursday EVENING they showed the property again, having never informed us this was happening.

GoogleTom and the team were all exactly what we would hope for in an agent. They know their local market well, they are all trustworthy and very personable. We felt at ease leaving them to take control of our sale and the conveyancer they recommended was great. They were all very helpful during the legal process and helped communication go smoothly. We had initially tried to sell with a different agent and got little response, but Tom and the team essentially rescued us. We appreciate their work and would certainly recommend them.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

FacebookI really can’t thank the team at Dacre Son & Hartley Morley enough for the way in which they recently handled the sale of my late mums property. From the initial valuation all the way through to completion they were professional, proactive and extremely supportive. But more importantly they cared - about mum and dads home, and about the family. Communications were excellent, honest and nothing was too much trouble. I have moved homes a few times over the years and I have never experienced such a caring and professional service from an Estate Agent. Would highly recommend without question.

GoogleI can't praise the team at Dacre, Son & Hartley (Settle) highly enough. They were open, human and honest. Throughout the inevitably worrying time of selling your home, they are sympathetic and understanding. Highly organised and very efficient, they always called me back and were able to co-ordinate a complex chain, taking time to ensure that communication with all parties was good. Where chasing was needed they were able to keep the momentum needed.
I think a special mention should go to Tom who really went out of his way to make sure that everything ran smoothly and always kept us up to date.
If you are selling your house in this area - commission them, you won't regret it.

TrustpilotSharp Practice
As per the 15+ negative reviews already written about this so called Agency NOTHING has changed. Thank God that due to their sharp practice I a cash buyer was not even disclosed to the seller nor afforded a viewing of the property I wished to purchase. I was told," Don't bother going to the house it's just been sold". I was 2miles from the house on the Date and Time agreed for my "Viewing" !!!! It transpired it was sold the day before and they didn't have the courtesy to tell me nor the owner who wanted a "Cash Buyer" NOT TO BE TRUSTED!!!!!

I recently purchased a property from this company through their Knaresborough branch.On the day of completion I was advised by my solicitor after the monies had all been transferred to contact them regarding the release of the keys.I did so and spoke to the rudest person I have come across for a long time called Anita.She was most unhelpful and could not wait to put the phone down on me.I had to stop her several time from disconnecting the call in order to find out when the keys would be available.This is not what you expect on the day of moving which is stressful enough.Customer service training definitely needed
