Area guides — Yorkshire

Independent guides to the cities, market towns and villages we work in — written by the agents who live here.

Across York, Pocklington and the Yorkshire Wolds, every location has its own character, community and property story. Our role is to understand those differences and provide advice shaped by genuine local experience.

Each guide covers the practical details buyers want to understand — from schools, commute times, council tax bands and price ranges, to the character, amenities and lifestyle of each community.

What our clients have said

Quality Service

RM English provided a high quality service in all aspects of advertising and selling our house in Bubwith. Whilst acknowledging the contribution of all staff, James Burley, George Black and Claire Kendra must be singled out for special praise. I would recommend R M English unreservedly to any purchaser or seller.
