DIRECTOR PROMOTION AT DACRES COMMERCIAL

Matthew Brear has been promoted to director of land and development at Yorkshire property firm, Dacre, Son & Hartley, one of Yorkshire’s leading new homes agencies.

Matthew joined Dacres’ Land Agency team almost 12 years ago and now specialises in residential land and development work, acting on behalf of an extensive range of landowners including NHS trusts, property companies and private individuals.
 
He now promotes and markets all types of land opportunities from single plot sales through to large scale sites that form strategic urban extensions.

In recent years Matthew has overseen the sale of land to facilitate the development of more than 750 new homes, as well as negotiating a number of longer-term strategic agreements on land to come forward for future development, throughout Yorkshire and beyond.

Matthew is also involved in selling, acquiring and letting all types of commercial property, on behalf of both tenants and landlords.

Matthew said: “This promotion is an exciting opportunity to continue building on Dacre, Son & Hartley’s reputation in the land and new homes development sector, at a time when there is lots of growth potential in the market. 

“We’re currently seeing plenty of appetite from both national and regional housebuilders for development sites in sought-after locations and our ability to offer accurate appraisals and successful marketing and disposal services is proving key to our success in this area.”

Head of Dacres Commercial, David Ogilvie, said: “Matthew has established a strong track record for successfully marketing development sites of all sizes throughout the region and has worked hard to foster strong relationships with numerous housebuilders. He thoroughly deserves this promotion and we’re looking forward to seeing him continuing to grow this side of our business.”
