Hackney & Leigh Ltd Information

Hackney & Leigh was established in 1982 following a fortuitous meeting of its founding partners Derrick Hackney and John Leigh. They initially opened three offices together in Ambleside, Windermere and Kendal (the last of these in Derrick’s dads old fruit and veg shop!). Having started with just three offices, we are proud to not only still be a family run firm, but also now be the region’s largest Estate Agent with nine offices comprehensively covering the area, from Keswick and Penrith in the North to Carnforth and Grange in the South, giving us the ability to market your property with greater exposure, and to more potential buyers than any of our competitors. You can walk into any of our offices and be met by a friendly and knowledgeable team who will guide you through selling or letting your home with the professional skills expected of the region’s leading Estate Agency. If you’re thinking of selling or letting your property, we can offer you our unique property marketing package which, along with our service and results, has won gold awards for the last four consecutive years, guaranteed to highlight the best features of your property, whether it’s a starter home suitable for a first time buyer or a multi-million pound mansion on the shores of Lake Windermere, we will create a bespoke marketing plan which is right for you.
