About this agent

Hunters estate and letting agent in York have grown to be one of the largest and most trusted Estate Agents in York. The average house price in York is around £190,000. Typically, you can buy a nice 2/3 bed property in the City Centre for this figure or a nice 3-bed semi detatched just outside of the city. Properties in the city range from lovely apartments and Victorian townhouses close to the medieval streets in the centre, to lovely suburban, tree-lined avenues only a mile or so from the centre. There are many larger homes in the area and it is not uncommon for agents in the city to be handling properties in excess of £1m. We also have lots of great properties to let in York and know that there is high demand from tenants, so we work really hard to ensure we match tenants with fantastic properties that meet their requirements. The rental market in York is very buoyant at the moment and we work closely with the area's big employers, along with the universities who bring a lot of tenants to the City. This means it’s a great time to invest in rental property as there are lots of investment opportunities for landlords offering safe returns and high capital values. Hunters Lettings have a dedicated Accounts and Maintenance department, we are here to support each other to ensure the service provided to you as a Landlord or a Tenant during a tenancy runs smoothly.
