Leighton Matthews are a small, family-run and independent property agent based in York, covering York, Easingwold, Thirsk, Malton and Ripon, offering a fresh, modern approach to property sales and residential property management. Built on years of experience within the estate agency sector, we combine industry expertise with a personal, hands-on service you won’t find with larger corporate agents.

​

For sellers, we provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional estate agents. Our expert team supports you through every stage of the sale, from accurate property valuation and professional marketing to buyer negotiations and legal progression. We guide you through selecting a conveyancer, preparing the memorandum of sale, and ensuring a smooth journey to completion—helping you achieve the best possible outcome while avoiding high commission fees.

​

For landlords, we are proud to be York’s only all-inclusive residential property management company dedicated exclusively to residential lettings. Our service is designed to be simple, transparent, and stress-free, covering every aspect of property management for one low fixed fee, regardless of rental value. We understand how important it is to protect your investment and provide complete confidence in how your property is managed.

​

Unlike traditional agents, we don’t believe in hidden costs or unexpected extras. Our management service uniquely includes a free EPC if required, zero tenant finder fees, and your annual gas safety check at no additional cost. It’s all part of our commitment to delivering exceptional value, clear pricing, and genuine peace of mind.

As an independent, family-run business, we take pride in building strong relationships and offering a service that’s honest, approachable, and tailored to each client. Whether you’re selling a property or managing a rental portfolio, Leighton Matthews offers a smarter, more personal way to succeed in York’s property market.
