Property guidance

Harrogate Property Finder specialises in finding properties for private clients in the Harrogate district. We offer professional advice and guidance so you are in the very best position to successfully purchase your next dream home.

Property sourcing

The first step as your property buying agents is to set up an initial meeting to discuss your requirements and buying position and create a tailored service to suit your individual needs. This can range from fully sourcing houses to buy in Harrogate that are currently on the housing market, to finding properties that are being sold discreetly or off the market. 

Property viewings

Harrogate Property Finder can attend viewings on your behalf to save you time and we will then share with you a selection of suitable properties. At this point, our due diligence as experienced property advisors will enable us to raise awareness of any potential problems with the property or the location.

Property acquisition 

Once a property has been identified, the most important part of our service as property buying agents follows. Our negotiating skills have been honed for over 30 years, and we know what questions to ask estate agents and how to correctly present an offer. Our aim is not only to secure you the property but secure it for you at the best possible price. 

Best and finals

The most popular houses available for sale in Harrogate often end up getting sold using the dreaded ‘best and final’ offer process. In this situation, we fully research and recommend a figure to offer, and carefully construct the offer in a way which will give you the best chance of success. Often it isn’t just the highest offer which wins. 

Harrogate Property Finder works solely for private clients. We only ever work with one client in each search criteria, ensuring an unconflicted personal service.

Finding Properties FAQs

Have a question? We’re here to help.

  • Which areas of Yorkshire do you cover?

    Our property consultants specialise in the Harrogate District and extend into North Leeds and the surrounding areas of York. If you are searching for properties further afield, we have contacts who can provide expert advice throughout Yorkshire.

  • What type of properties do you deal with?

    Harrogate Property Finder caters for every property requirement, to include investment properties to rent in Harrogate and the surrounding district, first time purchases, stunning multi-million-pound homes in the town centre to those nestled in the villages stretching well into the Yorkshire Dales and beyond.

  • Why would I not just look online or register with local agents?

    Vendors employ professionals to sell their properties, so it makes sense to employ a professional to get the best deals when purchasing a house, and to act in your best interests. Many properties sell before they are even registered online. Harrogate Property Finder has all the necessary contacts to find these properties, including properties being sold privately, and we can carry out viewings at any time of the day on your behalf. 

  • We have found a property ourselves - can Harrogate Property Finder still help?

    Yes, very much so, this service can be especially useful if you’re private home buyers or buying a property through friends or family. We can negotiate the correct price using extensive research and liaise with all parties including solicitors until completion.

  • Can Harrogate Property Finder help with a rental search?

    If you’re looking for houses to rent in Harrogate rather than buy, we can still carry out a full rental search and selection for you and find you the most suitable property. This service is aimed at properties with a rental value of £2000 plus per calendar month.

  • How much do you charge?

    As we offer a bespoke property advisory service, we will have a free no obligation face-to-face or Zoom meeting to fully discuss your requirements. Following this, we will charge a nominal retainer deposit to commence acting for you and then an agreed percentage of the purchase price upon completion, when the retainer will be fully refunded.

  • Are estate agents happy to work with you?

    Yes absolutely, estate agents are always very keen to sell to our clients as they know that they are pre-qualified, and they have already received a lot of information about the property which would normally only come to light after a sale has been agreed. Harrogate Property Finder has built up an excellent rapport with estate agents, which helps us find out about properties which are being sold discreetly or off the market.

"Harrogate Property Finder quickly sourced us our perfect 'forever home' which was not even on the open market. James viewed the property with us, providing valuable advice and then negotiated a purchase price which we were more than happy with. I highly recommend his services, it made the whole process run smoothly, was far less stressful and saved us a significant amount of time and money on the purchase price."
