Award-winning residential developer Yorkshire Country Properties (YCP) has unveiled a raft of stunning testimonials for some of its finest houses in West Yorkshire.

YCP has been praised for the quality of its houses, the professionalism of its sales and construction staff and the high standard of its after care.

The developer, which was honoured in a host of residential property awards last year, is currently on site with three high-quality developments at Shepley, Skelmanthorpe and Denby Dale. All these village locations are close to Huddersfield, recently named as the UK’s premier property hotspot.

Wendy Williams, who has bought a YCP house with garden at Denby Dale with her husband Martin, commented: “We first came across Yorkshire Country Properties in 2022. We loved the stone-built houses, and I was very keen to purchase one after viewing the show home in Shepley. But we chose one at Denby Dale, because of the position of the three terrace houses on the development.

“The whole experience from start to finish has been an adventure. We had lots of help from the sales team on choosing our fixtures and fittings, using their expert knowledge, and the construction team helped create the perfect garden. We are so happy to be in our new home and would highly recommend YCP to potential buyers after our excellent experience.”

Bill and Roisin McBurney, who have bought a YCP house at Denby Dale, commented: “From the initial contact, we felt YCP were customer focused and very professional. The sales team, the construction team and the after-care team were all superb. There was no hard sale, no pressure and, besides being so professional, they were very accommodating to our personal needs. We have bought off-plan as we have bought off plan before and feel that YCP have been superior in all areas to other residential developers.”

Jackie Wignall, who bought a house at Denby Dale, said: “Thank you again YCP for being different, a premium builder who cares. Your help was much appreciated, helping to make the move a little less stressful. This help is not something consumers have come to expect generally from the construction industry.”

Finally, James and Anna, who have bought a house at Skelmanthorpe, commented: “From the outset, everything was explained very clearly to us as first-time buyers. We were very impressed by the quality of our home; we commissioned an external snagging report, which found next to nothing wrong with the build. The team who carried the report said this was one of the best houses that he has ever seen

“We really enjoyed choosing the options for our house. There were so many to choose from, which other developers would not offer. And every minor job was dealt with quickly. Overall, we are really happy in our YCP home. The whole process was made really easy and as first-time buyers, we will definitely be recommending YCP to everyone we know.”

Paul Brown, the managing director of Yorkshire Country Properties, commented: “We are absolutely delighted to hear these wonderful testimonials. The level of service that our recent buyers have experienced from our team is what we are all about and - alongside the quality of what we offer - is how we differentiate ourselves from the rest.

“Our team, be it Construction, Sales, Aftercare, Marketing or Finance, all do our very best to provide an exceptional service. These testimonials are such great feedback and mean a great deal to us.

“Huddersfield, and the picturesque villages which surround the town, tick so many boxes. Houses here offer superb value for money, bearing in mind their excellent location, their beautiful surroundings and their first-class facilities. What a magnificent combination of factors.

“At the same time, confidence is returning to the housing market, driven by a pause in bank rate increases and the prospect of lower mortgage rates. It's widely anticipated that rates closer to 4 per cent will attract more buyers into the market, supporting sales and pricing levels.”

Sales Director Samantha McGregor added: “At Yorkshire Country Properties, we have been buoyed by recognition in a range of awards in 2023, winning two major honours in the WhatHouse? awards and being shortlisted in the Yorkshire Post Real Estate and the Yorkshire Business Insider Property awards for our developments at Shepley, Skelmanthorpe and Denby Dale.

“This recognition has meant a tremendous amount to our hard-working team and has given us the confidence to progress two prestigious new West Yorkshire developments, one at Grange Moor, Kirklees, and the other in the very popular Huddersfield postcode of HD9. Yes, 2023 was tough, but this year’s mortgage rate cuts are just the boost the housing market needs.”
