Not every agent. The right agent for your home.
A five-star sale, from first hello to final completion, handled personally by one agent, start to finish.
Typical (median) time from going live to agreeing a sale, across our 52 most recent sales, against a UK average nearer 50–65 days.
A deliberately small number of homes, so yours gets your agent’s full attention.
Most agents measure success in listings won. We measure it in homes sold well. Each Brownsett agent takes on only a handful at a time, so the agent who values your home does your viewings, answers your calls and stays a step ahead of your sale: the personal service the high street stopped offering.
The person who valued your home is the person who shows it. They know why the kitchen was extended and which room catches the morning sun, and buyers can tell.
You hear how a viewing went while it still matters, in your agent’s own words, including the parts that are awkward to say.
You get the comparable sales, the competing homes and the honest number, not the highest figure to win the instruction and a reduction six weeks later.
Agreeing the sale is half the job. Your agent chases solicitors, lenders and the chain weekly, and AI Myk keeps you posted between those calls.
Award-winning agents for your home
We didn’t set out to win anything. We set out to sell homes properly. So being recognised twice, by the industry and by Yorkshire, means an enormous amount. The real measure is still a happy seller and a smooth completion, but we’d be lying if we said these weren’t on the wall.
Best Newcomer, 2025
eXp is one of the largest estate agency networks in the world, and Best Newcomer recognises the strongest start made by an agent joining it. Michael started Brownsett from nothing: no high-street office, no inherited client list, just a phone, a camera and a promise to do this properly. To be picked out in the first year still hasn’t quite sunk in.
Best Independent Estate Agent, 2026/27
The Prestige Awards celebrate independent businesses across Yorkshire, the ones competing on craft and service rather than sheer size. To be named the county’s best independent estate agent, while still a one-man agency up against firms many times the size, is genuinely humbling.
How we compare
What’s included
The Ultimate Collection
Every home we take on gets the full marketing suite. Some homes, though, earn something more: a launch built to stop the scroll and make buyers travel for a viewing.
Reserved for a small number of homes at a time, because each one takes a full day of filming and a proper edit. If yours suits it, your agent will say so at the valuation, and if it does not, they will tell you that too.
The shoot goes on at dusk, when the windows glow and the sky does the work. It is the frame buyers stop on.
A proper walkthrough film of your home, narrated, cut to music. Not a phone held sideways.
Gardens, views, position on the street: the things a ground-level photo can never show.
Your home cut for Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, then posted and reposted on a schedule we run ourselves.
The listing dressed to earn clicks on Rightmove, where most of your buyers start looking.
Reels that get your home seen
Every home gets a custom-filmed vertical reel, cut for Instagram, TikTok & Facebook. Tap to watch a few of mine.
From valuation to completion
An honest, no-obligation valuation and a marketing plan built around your home.
Photography, video, floorplan and reel produced, then live across all four portals and social.
Accompanied viewings, seven days a week: your agent shows buyers round and feeds back after each one.
Every offer qualified with ID and proof-of-funds checks, then negotiated hard for your best price.
Memorandum of sale issued, then your agent chases solicitors, lenders and the whole chain through to exchange.
Keys handed over and the sale complete, and your agent is still on the end of the phone.

Solicitors, lenders and the chain chased for you, around the clock.
What our sellers say
No jargon, no surprises
Our fee is explained in plain language before you commit. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying and what you get for it.
Common questions
What does it cost to sell my house with you?
Our fee is 1%, or a minimum of £2,000, plus VAT, on every property and every sale. It is agreed before you instruct us, and payable only when your sale completes. No upfront charges, no withdrawal fees, no charge for the photography, film or floorplan. If your home does not sell, you owe us nothing.
How long will it take to sell?
Across our most recent sales the typical time from going live to agreeing a sale has been around a fortnight, against a UK average nearer 50 to 65 days. Your own home depends on its price, its condition and the time of year, and your agent will give you a realistic answer at the valuation rather than the one you want to hear.
Who actually does my viewings?
Your own agent does, every one of them. The person who valued your home is the person who shows it, which means they can answer why the kitchen was extended and which room catches the morning sun. Buyers notice the difference, and it is the main reason each of our agents takes on a small number of homes at a time.
How do you decide the asking price?
From comparable sales that have actually completed nearby, what is currently competing with you at that level, and how your home differs from both. You get the evidence, not just a figure. We would rather lose an instruction than win it with a price we know will need reducing in six weeks.
Is the photography really included?
Yes. Professional stills, a floorplan and a walkthrough film come as standard on every home we list, shot by property specialists rather than by an agent with a phone. The Ultimate Collection adds twilight photography, a cinematic film with voiceover and drone stills where the setting earns it.
What happens after I accept an offer?
That is when the real work starts. Your agent chases solicitors, lenders and everyone in the chain weekly, and you get an update whether or not there is news. Our progression assistant keeps you posted between those calls, so you are never left wondering where things stand.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
No. Our tie-in is short and your agent will tell you exactly what it is before you sign anything. If we are not doing a good job you should be free to leave, and an agent who needs a long contract to keep you is telling you something.
Which areas do you cover?
Bradford and Halifax and the villages and towns around them, including Clayton, Wibsey, Thornton, Queensbury, Allerton, Wilsden, Idle, Shipley, Baildon, Bingley, Shelf, Northowram and Hipperholme. We deliberately do not cover the whole of Yorkshire, because knowing a patch street by street is the job.
