SALES
  • paragraph

    Our experienced valuation team will inspect your property and we will do our utmost to secure the highest price for you in the current market conditions. We will also prepare a detailed and highly-focussed marketing strategy which will give us the very best possible opportunities to sell your house.
  • paragraph

    Most homes and their locations have some unique features. It is these features which will feature in our bespoke marketing plan, which will ensure your house achieves the maximum exposure to potential purchasers across the county of Yorkshire and beyond.
  • paragraph

    The Internet is an increasingly powerful tool for selling your home. Our website generates many enquiries and we are members of the main property portals, including Rightmove and Primelocation. This gives us a tremendous marketing platform, marrying our traditional values to the very latest technological innovations.
  • paragraph

    Our experience and expertise in the Yorkshire housing market, stretching back to the 19th century, and our professional knowledge of the county's specific market conditions, means that we will always value your house fairly and accurately. We do not raise expectations unrealistically, which always causes problems down the line, and we do not undervalue for a swift sale.

    LETTINGS

    We have a dedicated and expert team dealing with the management of residential property, finding suitable tenants and maximizing rental income. Our database of potential tenants is constantly updated to ensure speedy and successful lettings.

    We also prepare a tenancy agreement on your behalf and explain to the tenant their obligations under that agreement. We will manage the property on your behalf and will deal with the inevitable problems that arise, as well as collecting the monthly rent. We can also organise the annual safety checks for gas appliances, and periodic safety checks of electrical appliances.

    On letting a property we prepare an inventory of all contents and their condition. We also keep a record of the internal decoration, so that if there is any damage during the period of the tenancy we have appropriate records available to pursue the matter on your behalf.

    Finding a tenant and then letting and managing a property can be stressful and time-consuming. Our aim is to take the strain out of the whole letting process and allow our customers get on with their lives. We will keep you informed about the progress of the letting and any issues that may arise, but essentially we will provide the solutions to any problems that may arise.

    Land & New Homes

    For Landowners, we specialise in the sale of land for residential development from single plots to sites to large strategic developments. Working with some of the best specialists in the area we can advise on maximising the value of your land through the planning process. We can also advise on the best method of sale.

We understand the issues, to negotiate the best deal for you and will work closely with your legal advisors to ensure an effective and workable contract.

    For Developers we offer a range of services from market research to advice on detailed specification. We aim to add value by ensuring that proposed schemes realise their full real market appeal, thereby optimising revenue and saleability as well as minimising potential risk. We have been selling new houses and new developments for over 50 years, we understand the commercial imperatives that developers face and the aspirations of home owners. Where appropriate we can deal with all aspects of marketing from the initial marketing strategy, through to the preparation of sales material to managing site sales staff. Whether landowner or developer our experience can help maximise your investment.

    I've been in the industry now for 10 years. Having started my career in Cheltenham I moved back up to York in 2016 and have been a core part of the RME team for the last 6 years. I took over management of the lettings team at the start of 2019. My aim was to create a small but effective team who not only care about their clients but always go the extra mile. Despite Covid creating some 'unprecedented' challenges I can safely say 3 years later the service my team provides to its clients is second to none. My main role is to value your investments, provide you with a wealth of advice and impart my knowledge of everything lettings.
