Welcome to Hackney & Leigh Estate Agents

Founded in 1982 by Derrick Hackney & John Leigh, Hackney & Leigh Ltd has grown as an estate agent from just two original Lakeland offices to become the area’s leading property agents with offices in nine key locations: Ambleside, Arnside, Carnforth, Grange-Over-Sands, Kirkby Lonsdale, Kendal, Keswick, Penrith and Windermere. These offices provide an unrivalled service across the Lake District. From Furness in the West to the Yorkshire Dales in the East and from Carnforth in the south up to Cockermouth in the north, Hackney & Leigh have the region covered.

Any area which includes a World Heritage site, two National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and such a variety of major local towns, pretty villages and unique hamlets requires a wide range of expertise and knowledge and Hackney & Leigh have just the right qualified, long serving, highly experienced and professional staff to do just that (and a little bit more!).

“Thank you so much to Charlie and all the team at Ambleside. They helped with the perfect sale of my property, everything was dealt with efficiently and smoothly. I very much appreciate all their hard work involved.”

September 2024 – Donna (Ambleside)

“Hackney and Leigh were amazing! From the first visit to our new property to the eventual completion they have been attentive and supportive, really going the extra mile to help resolve queries between ourselves and the sellers. Highly recommend and would definitely use again! Thank you to the whole team – every member of the team we have had contact with have been exceptional.”

September 2024 – Lottie & Mark (Ambleside)

“Thank you to Charlie and all her team for providing very professional and supportive guidance throughout our recent sale. Charlie was most helpful and caring throughout this process. Without her and her team, we would not be where we are. This was a first class professional service. Thank you. ”

August 2024 – Kate & Michael (Ambleside)

“Thank you to Claire and Tilda for looking after us so well and for all their help in selling our house. Great staff and great service.”

July 2024 – Tom & Laura (Kirkby Lonsdale)

“Thank you to both Sonia and Nicole you both worked with a professional attitude during the house sale. The communication from you was excellent well done.”

July 2024 – Stuart (Windermere)

“I am extremely happy with the service offered by the Carnforth Office, in particular Kirsty who went above and beyond on more than one occasion.”

June 2024 – Jane (Carnforth)

“Claire and Tilde provided me with all the help and advice I needed to sell my father’s flat, always cheerful and professional. It was a pleasure to deal with them especially as it was a difficult time for me and I was 250miles away and had never sold a house before. I would recommend H&L in Kirby Lonsdale to anyone who asked me”

May 2024  – Rachel (Kirkby Lonsdale)
