WhatHouse Awards Success

YCP has strengthened its senior sales team with four key appointments.

Hard on the heels of the appointment of Paul Brown as managing director comes the news that a brand-new senior sales team is now in place.
YCP are currently on site with prime West Yorkshire residential developments at Shepley, Skelmanthorpe and Denby Dale.

The accomplished team comprises: Sam McGregor, Sam Baldaro, Kate Carter and Kirsty Watts.

The Head of Sales is Sam McGregor, who commented: “We are currently building 147 beautiful, high-quality homes and, in total, we are looking at a potential pipeline of over 700 new homes.  Given the current uncertainty of the mortgage and financial markets, we are placing more emphasis than ever on high quality and product differentiation.

“During the past three years, the company has made a positive and focussed contribution to the housing provision in the Kirklees and West Yorkshire area. Apart from a completed development at Netherthong, Holmfirth, where every single one of the 22 beautiful houses built were sold, we have either sold or reserved 40 houses on our other three sites.

“Clearly, the current state of the housing market presents challenges, but we are confident that the quality of our houses combined with the enthusiasm and commitment of our wonderful team here at YCP will enable us to continue to deliver the kind of homes that are needed across all demographics in Yorkshire. I am so proud to be working with an exceptional sales team.”

Sam added: “We are looking to expand our team further with the appointment of a **[full-time sales negotiator.](/news/we-are-recruiting-for-our-sales-team)** If you fancy a new challenge and have one-two years Customer Services experience plus a UK driving licence please apply with your CV to samanthamcgregor@yorkshirecountryproperties.co.uk.

Sam Baldaro has joined Yorkshire Country Properties from Vistry (formerly known as Bovis) for seven years and she has worked with numerous leading housebuilders for the past 15 years.

“My role at YCP is to oversee the sales progression for all of our purchasers, being the main point of contact and guiding them through the legal and financial process. I’m on hand to ensure their journey from placing their reservation through to legal completion and moving into their new home is as smooth and seamless as possible.

“The market has been hugely unstable over the last 12 months with rises in interest rates and decreasing valuations. We are in a very strong position though, we have some very popular developments which offer a premium build and attractive living spaces, this serves us well with the current conditions. Recently we have seen a leap in customer enquiries and lenders have started to reduce their interest rates, which is hopefully the sign of a more predictable time.”

Meanwhile Kate Carter has a background in student, professional and commercial property management, sales and lettings and previously lived and worked in Manchester city centre, while Kirsty Watts, who is from Sheffield has ‘a wealth of experience in customer service.

Paul Brown commented: “This talented new sales team is committed to making YCP the very best housebuilder in West Yorkshire. Their experience and expertise will prove invaluable and I am very lucky and proud to have such an excellent team to support me in growing our company and achieving our targets.

“All three of these new developments are providing much-needed housing, including a significant number of starter homes, enabling young people to get on to the property ladder. Our starter homes at Phase One at Shepley and Skelmanthorpe have now sold out, underpinning our contribution to both the community and to sustainability in the three villages.”

YCP STRENGTHENS SENIOR SALES TEAM

YORKSHIRE COUNTRY PROPERTIES STRENGTHENS SENIOR SALES TEAM

We are delighted to welcome our most recent resident to Whistle Bell Court, Skelmanthorpe. 

Much-needed starter homes are an integral part of YCP’s new developments at Skelmanthorpe and Denby Dale, while they have sold out at Shepley and Netherthong. YCP’s Sam McGregor explained: “We have been both proud and delighted by the success of our starter homes initiative. It is so important to help young people to get on to the property ladder and to experience the joy and the security of owning their first home.

“Five of the six starter homes, called Valley Cottages, have already been reserved and it’s easy to see why. Under the starter homes scheme, they are priced at 20 per cent less than their market value. Built from natural Yorkshire stone, Valley Cottages have tremendous kerb appeal, but that’s not all. Step inside and you’ll discover that our starter homes provide everything you need for modern living.

“As with all our homes, we have included some fabulous double-glazed French doors so you can extend your living space outside - and in a Valley Cottage, that means onto a rear patio/garden area - a perfect spot for some after work relaxation. Your own piece of heaven.”

YCP’s development at Denby Dale comprises of eight starter homes, and two have already been reserved. 

The starter homes scheme is an imaginative initiative by the Government to help first-time buyers purchase a home where the discounted price is less than £250,000. You must be between 23 and 40 years old and your gross combined household income must be below £80,000 a year.

YCP design homes which allow you to live your best life - homes of a timeless quality to provide a positive work-life balance, which is so essential for today’s busy lifestyles. For us, property is a way of life, which is why we take so much care with each of our customers to ensure we build a lifelong relationship. Our starter homes are the beginning of this relationship.

A starter home buyer at YCP’s sold-out development at Netherthong enthused: “I would like to say a massive thank you for everything YCP and your team have done for me. I found all the staff super supportive, answering all my questions quickly and with a full answer. I thought moving into a new area, not knowing people, would be a daunting task but you made the transition super easy."

YORKSHIRE COUNTRY PROPERTIES APPOINT SAVILLS TO MARKET PRESTIGIOUS YORKSHIRE DEVELOPMENTS

A flourishing Yorkshire-based residential developer has appointed award-winning national property consultancy Savills to market its three developments in West Yorkshire.
Yorkshire Country Properties is currently on site with attractive and highly regarded developments at Shepley, Skelmanthorpe and Denby Dale.

Paul Brown, managing director of Yorkshire Country Properties, commented: “We are excited to be in partnership with Savills on these developments. The brand synergy is obvious – we build high quality, tailored homes for our customers, in beautiful locations, that support individual customer needs. 

“With three developments ongoing, and more in planning stages, we have a strong pipeline for which we welcome Savills’ expertise and support in realising.”

Developed by Yorkshire Country Properties, the mix of one, two, three, four and five-bedroom homes across sites in Denby Dale, Skelmanthorpe and Shepley are attracting a range of buyers, with starter homes among the 147 properties to be built in total – 46 of which have already been sold or reserved. 
 
Anne Haggas, head of Yorkshire residential development sales at Savills in Leeds, revealed: “There has already been a surge of early interest in the homes on all three sites, predominantly because of their attractive appearance, competitive pricing, high-quality design, top interior specification and excellent locations. The combination is irresistible and is fuelling the demand we are currently seeing in these schemes.”  

The first phase of the Knowle Grange scheme in Shepley comprises 31 new homes, including six one-bedroom starter cottages, all of which have been sold.  Located on Abbey Road, the exterior of each property is made from natural tumbled Yorkshire stone. The second phase of the development, which will see a further 52 high-quality homes built, is expected to complete in the summer of 2025.

Additional developments at The Willows, Denby Dale and Whistle Bell Court, Skelmanthorpe will both offer a range of one-to-five-bedroom properties and are expected to complete between summer and autumn of next year. Already a number of properties on both sites have been reserved.

Anne Haggas added: “Yorkshire Country Properties have a proven track record of producing homes of character that meet the demands of modern living and we are delighted to have been appointed to market The Willows, Knowle Grange and Whistle Bell Court. The property market throughout Yorkshire has been performing particularly well this year, in spite of the challenges that people have faced and, added to the prime village locations of each of these sites, we anticipate continued strong demand across the region and wider UK.”
