Joanna, who previously worked for another local letting agent, will manage the company’s existing portfolio which consists of a wide range of properties, from apartments through to large family homes, throughout Ilkley and the surrounding villages. Joanna will also oversee the ongoing growth of the thriving department.

Joanna says: “I’ve always lived locally so have an excellent knowledge of the local market and Dacre, Son & Hartley has always stood out as a professional company with a great reputation so I’m delighted to join the team.  This role offers a fantastic opportunity because it’s extremely challenging and covers a wide remit including carrying out market appraisals, sourcing tenants, arranging tenancy agreements and collecting rents across hundreds of properties throughout the area.

“There’s also lots of potential to develop the department further because the lettings market has been the property industry's biggest success story since the economic downturn and there’s plenty of demand locally for an established agent like Dacres that has such a wide reach across an extensive office network.”
