From my initial meeting with Jill to accepting an offer on my house, Pauline and Jill have been fantastic. Great communication throughout and ensured I received feedback from every viewing. I would not hesitate to recommend Hackney and Leigh to sell your house for you.

Review of Hackney & Leigh - Penrith

Would highly recommend Hackney and Leigh, they did a fantastic job from start to finish on selling our house and made the whole process smooth. Special mentions to Keira and Shannon who were in constant contact and as always updating us on the sale.

James Hartley

Hackney & Leigh - Kendal

Hackney and Leigh are a well established and professional estate agent. The sale of my property went very well. There were one or two hurdles to get over and Hackney and Leigh were excellent in handling them and keeping me informed. I would highly recommend this estate agent to anyone.
