Partner buy-out for Yorkshire property agency DHP Croft

Specialist property agency DHP Croft, with offices in York and Leeds, has been acquired outright by one of its founding partners, Toby Cockcroft.

Launched in 2010 by Cockcroft and the partners of Leeds-based property consultancy Dove Haigh Phillips, DHP Croft has grown its reputation for selling some of Yorkshire’s most exclusive homes and higher end rural properties in villages across the county.

DHP Croft currently offers a portfolio including Grantley Hall near Harrogate, which is on the market at £5.95 million; as well as several other ‘trophy’ properties across Yorkshire; and a number of exclusive family homes in North Yorkshire villages priced at £500 and above.

Toby Cockcroft.“I am very grateful for the years working together with the other DHP partners, whose input was invaluable in establishing DHP Croft. We will continue to work together on projects for clients and I am looking forward to moving the business into new markets, including commercial property and land agency,”

“Our typical home sells for around £1 million, but we also work for many clients with exceptional properties from half that price, where the property offers something unique and desirable, particularly in a rural setting.

“Our reputation as specialists in this niche across the North has spread nationally, and we regularly take appointments working alongside London agents on multi-million pound historic country estates, from Lancashire and Yorkshire to the Scottish borders.”

DHP Croft has relocated its Leeds office to new premises at Lisbon Square in the city and its head office will continue to be based at Swinegate in York and will rebrand as Croft Residential over the coming months.
