Sales Team

Derrick Hackney first opened the business in Windermere in 1977, moving to Main Road and forming Hackney & Leigh in 1982. Outgrowing the premises as the business continued to expand a separate dedicated Lettings Office opened in 2007 at Elleray Corner, with the Sales Office taking over a most prominent location in Ellerthwaite Square in 2010.

The new Sales premises have great window displays and allow us to house the ever expanding staff numbers including the Conveyancing Department.

We are dedicated to customer service with all our staff knowing the local area well and being heavily involved within the community. We recognise the potential difficulties of buying and selling property and endeavour to always offer good and honest advice with our extensive local knowledge and property expertise.

Local knowledge

Living in Windermere
Windermere, originally a small hamlet called Birthwaite, came to prominence with the completion of the railway link from Kendal in 1847. The railway terminated at Windermere to avoid the steep descent to the lakeside at Bowness and proved to be highly lucrative, bringing in 120,000 visitors in its first year, mainly from the industrial towns of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Horse-drawn carriages were laid on to ferry passengers to and from the station to the lakeside, whilst hotel-based charabancs (early motor coaches) took guests on local sightseeing excursions. Up to the 19th century, Bowness-on-Windermere was a fishing village. With the extension of the railway to Windermere and regular influxes of Victorian visitors, the commercial opportunities were soon realised.
