A West Yorkshire estate agency which specialises in selling fine, country and period homes has sold subject to contract properties with a total value of £34.5m since the start of the year.

Charnock Bates director, Ben Waites, commented: “We have been privileged to have had some excellent listings for some truly outstanding properties throughout West Yorkshire since the start of the year.

“We have achieved this because we pride ourselves on providing the very highest standards of client service combined with an unrivalled knowledge of the local market for fine, country and period homes.

“In a well-documented more competitive economic environment for estate agents, we know it is our team’s absolute commitment to delivering to the highest standards that sets us apart.

“This, in turn, ensures we continue to have extraordinary listings and the ability and skills needed to sell homes for the benefit of our discerning owners and the informed buyers acquiring them.”

Charnock Bates currently has 94 properties listed for sale including Gailowind, a seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom home in Slant Gate, near Huddersfield, which is offered in excess of £2.75m.

In addition, the estate agency is currently offering for sale the Hartley Royd Estate, a seven-bedroom period home along with two detached cottages, barn and approximately 58 acres, in Shaw, Lancashire, at offers in excess of £1.95m.
