Meet the Team
An estate agent is only as good as the people behind it. At York Estates, we have combined over 80 years of experience in Marylebone. Between sales, lettings, property management and everything that happens behind the scenes, this is the team that keeps York Estates going!
We know the area pretty well - the streets, the garden squares, the mansions blocks, the buildings, the mews - but more important than the physical aspects of an area or property - we know the people of Marylebone.
Our relationship with Marylebone goes back to 1983. Over the years, we have helped generations of buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants move within the neighbourhood. Some clients have returned to us years later to sell the property we originally helped them buy. Others have been part of the York Estates story for decades.
