Why the friendly market town of Pocklington is practically perfect for home buyers

When the former Knight Frank office in Harrogate, renowned for operating at the top end of the residential property market, recently switched to become an independent estate agency named North Residential, with the same members of staff, it was assumed it would be business as usual.That’s exactly what it is apart from a new move that has raised eyebrows and prompted plenty of “Googling”.

Just three months after cutting ties with Knight Frank, North Residential’s business leaders, Harlan Pollitt and Daniel Rigg, have just opened a second branch in the market town of Pocklington in Yorkshire’s East Riding.

This came after market research revealed what those who know and love the town at the foot of Wolds already knew.

“It fits into our locational criteria as a highly desirable area to live,” says Harlan.

Scott Holley has been appointed to lead the team at the new Pocklington branch. He has been in estate agency for 20 years and knows the area well as he grew up there and lives locally.
