The Best Estate Agent Guide Awards were founded in 2017 with the aim of improving service standards in the property industry.

They conduct an annual assessment of the performance of over 13,080 UK estate agencies. It’s the most comprehensive review of estate agents bar none.

The criteria used for the Best Estate Agent Guide are based on what matters most to buyers, sellers, renters and landlords and create a standard of excellence that estate and letting agents strive to achieve and which help you to choose the best agent in your area.

Harrison Boothman have been placed in the “Exceptional” category.  These agencies delivered the best results – selling or letting properties more quickly than their competitors, achieving the highest price asked to price achieved ratio and showing an outstanding level of customer service.

‘Hawks View’

Shires Lane, Embsay, Skipton

Construction of this eagerly anticipated, brand new rural village development by the Multi Award-Winning local construction company, R. N. Wooler & Co. Ltd. is now well underway with completion of the first phase estimated to be before the end of 2022.

Offering an excellent variety of sophisticated two, three, four and five bedroom contemporary homes; all properties on this imaginatively designed development will be constructed to an unrivalled new build standard throughout incorporating handsome exterior stonework, in-house craftsman joinery, bespoke interior customer options and first-class fixtures and fittings.

Each home will benefit from a modern, sustainable design incorporating a remarkably high level of thermal insulation together with solar PV panels ensuring reduced ongoing energy requirements and associated running costs whilst also minimising any environmental impact.

In complete contrast to the many typical ‘high-density’ modern developments, the new homes at Hawks View, Embsay are intended to exceed the expectations of even the most discerning purchaser, having been thoughtfully designed in collaboration with  ‘Rural Solutions Ltd’,  the UK’s Leading Rural Diversification Development Experts, placing a huge emphasis on creating generous, well-orientated and carefully spaced-out plots surrounded by extensive open green space.

Being ideally situated only circa two miles from the historic market town of Skipton and adjacent to the sports fields on the edge of this charming Craven village, a great deal of care and skill has been taken to ensure that the overall scheme sensitively integrates into this peaceful semi-rural village setting; being surrounded by beautiful open fields, countryside and farmland on the southern boundary of the scenic Yorkshire Dales National Park.

The highly sought-after village of Embsay benefits from a vibrant and extremely active local community, offering excellent options for both primary and secondary schooling together with a range of other everyday amenities including two traditional ‘local’ pubs, a lively village hall, a well-used general store/post office and a wonderful heritage steam railway line connecting the village to Bolton Abbey.
