Our property portfolio in and around Swainby features a carefully selected mix of homes, including traditional stone cottages, renovated farmhouses, and modern family residences. Each property is presented with care and marketed to reach the right buyers.

We regularly work with homes in nearby villages such as Faceby, Carlton in Cleveland, Kirkby in Cleveland, and Great Broughton, all within easy reach of Swainby. Many properties in this area are sold before they ever appear on national portals, thanks to our strong local network and proactive approach.

We’ll offer clear, honest advice on pricing, preparing your home for sale, and understanding buyer expectations in the current Swainby market.

Property Surveys

Swainby’s property stock includes many older and character-filled homes, making surveys especially valuable for buyers and sellers alike. We recommend experienced local surveyors who offer a range of reports to suit different needs.

These include:

• RICS Homebuyer Reports for conventional properties in good condition

• Valuation Surveys for mortgage purposes or price reassurance

Each surveyor we recommend has a strong understanding of the architecture and property characteristics common across Swainby and its neighbouring villages.
