    Claire Kendall - Partner MNAEA
    Claire was sent away by her Mum and Dad (Jennifer and Richard Kendall) to University to become a Chartered Surveyor. Instead of coming straight into the family firm, Claire decided to make her mark with a major property company in London and after 7 years decided to transfer within that company to her base in Leeds to be nearer home of course. After a short while Claire decided what in common terms is stated as a 'no brainer', instead of working for somebody else 10 miles up the road, it would be better to join the family firm, along with her brother Simon, who had already been with the company 12 years. Claire now oversees the overall running of the our sales department and deals with the company's administration responsibilities.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Hard working staff
      My wife and I decided to place our one bedroom flat on the market. At the time of the listing the market was somewhat uncertain due to the increase in lending rates. A representative from Kendall's attended and advised us on what strategy to use to market the flat. The flat sold mainly due to the hard working staff who both accompanied endless viewers but also kept us informed through the seller's portal and by way of personal phone calls. Thank you Kendall's for your professionalism.

      Michael & Elaine - November 2023
    • Seller Testimonial
