Patrick McCutcheon, Head of Residential at Dacre Son and Hartley which has 21 offices throughout West and North Yorkshire says: “Our award winning website attracts a huge amount of traffic with over 8,000 visits per week since the 1st November*. By revamping the site we have created a fresh new look and provided a far better experience for those visitors using handheld devices such as iphones.”

The Dacres Commercial section of the site gives details of the firm’s wide range of property services and also provides a quick and easy search system for commercial properties available for sale or rent. The Survey section gives clients a full overview of the detailed professional reports that the Dacres Surveyors can prepare and the Financial Services dedicated pages include a helpful mortgage calculator, re-mortgaging and protection advice.

Patrick says: “Our website has always been simple to use, gimmick free and gets straight to the point. The changes now also allow users to save their preferences when searching for properties, gain a street view via Google earth and highlight properties of the week on the home page.”

In addition to the unique visits received, Dacre Son & Hartley’s properties are also listed on 20 of the most visited property search sites including www.rightmove.co.uk which attracts over 60% of the online market share.

Patrick adds: “We are reaching millions of people online through both our own site and property portals and this continued investment in our online presence allows us to stay at the forefront of Yorkshire’s property market.”
