    Why Choose Hodsons?

    Who We Are

    Hodsons is an independent, estate agency that has been at the heart of the Wakefield property market for over 25 years. With deep roots in the local community and offices in Wakefield and Pontefract, our name has become synonymous with honesty, reliability, and local expertise.

    We pride ourselves on providing a personal, one-to-one service that larger chains often struggle to match. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor, or preparing to sell your family home, our dedicated team is here to support you every step of the way.


    The Wakefield Property Market in 2025: A Quick Look

    Wakefield continues to be a hotspot for buyers looking for more space, better value, and excellent connectivity. With strong transport links to Leeds, Sheffield, and London via the M1 and East Coast Main Line, it's no surprise that demand remains high.

    As of mid-2025:

    • Average property prices in Wakefield have risen modestly over the past year, reflecting a stable and attractive market.

    • Detached and semi-detached homes remain the most popular among growing families relocating from Leeds or London.

    • Areas such as Sandal, Outwood, Walton, and Horbury are particularly in demand for their schools, green spaces, and community feel.

    If you're looking to buy or sell in Wakefield, the current market conditions make it an excellent time to act — especially with the right team by your side.


    Why Choose Hodsons?

     1. Local Knowledge That Runs Deep

    We don’t just work in Wakefield — we live here too. Our in-depth knowledge of every neighbourhood, school catchment, and property trend allows us to give accurate, honest advice that helps you make informed decisions.

     2. Personal Service From Start to Finish

    You won't get passed around or lost in a system. At Hodsons, you deal with real people who take time to understand your goals and support you throughout the process. From the first valuation to handing over the keys, we’re right there with you.

     3. Tailored Marketing That Works

    We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all marketing. Every property we list benefits from edited photography, floorplans, a virtual tour,  online exposure across Rightmove, Zoopla, and social media — ensuring your home gets the attention it deserves.

     4. Strong Reputation Built on Trust

    Much of our business comes from repeat clients and word-of-mouth recommendations — a testament to the relationships we've built over the years. Our many 5-star reviews highlight our responsiveness, professionalism, and personal touch.

     5. Expert Valuations Backed by Data

    Our property valuations are based not only on years of experience but also on real-time data from the Wakefield market. We aim to price your home correctly from day one to maximise interest and achieve the best possible sale price.
