Experienced lettings manager joins Dacres

Dacre, Son & Hartley has appointed Lucy Edwards as lettings manager and sales negotiator at its Ripon office.

With 17 years in property, Lucy previously managed high-end lettings in Norfolk before relocating to Yorkshire last year. 

She will now oversee rentals across Ripon and surrounding areas, supporting the firm’s expanding North Yorkshire lettings operation under the Lister Haigh brand.

Lucy said: “This is an opportunity to join one of Yorkshire’s best-known estate agents at an exciting time, after launching its new lettings division and now growing its portfolio and market share. 

“We’re already talking to property owners, including several who have large family homes with land, which is where my background lies, as well as several landlords who own highly sought after cottages and apartments in and around Ripon city centre, Boroughbridge and Knaresborough. 

“The range of property we can manage is a very appealing prospect and most of these potential clients are attracted by our individual service offering and large online reach, which is complemented offline by an 18-branch network.

“Crucially, this role will also enable me to build on my experience in the sales market. After 17 years specialising in lettings, I was keen to try my hand at sales as well, but roles that offer exposure to both are few and far between, so this is another challenge that I’m looking forward to.”

Giles Chaplin, associate at Lister Haigh, added: “Lucy brings plenty of valuable experience to her new role. 

“She’s previously worked across all price brackets in the lettings market and joining a York estate agent last year has given her a good insight to the market in North Yorkshire, so there’s no doubt she’ll be a valuable member of our team.”
