Home sweet home for property company following office investment

A family-run property management and lettings business has invested in a new city office in Holgate Road, York.

Littlefairs Property Company, was founded by Scott Littlefair, along with his father Richard Littlefair and sister, Donna Sanderson in January 2019.

The trio previously owned and ran Letters of Distinction for 10 years, before selling the business to Countrywide almost five years ago.

Managing director, Scott Littlefair, said: “We currently manage more than £50m worth of rental property across North, West and East Yorkshire, ranging from studio apartments to large family homes.

“Our success is a result of our personal service and our fair fee schedule for landlords and we have recently employed another full-time team member.

“We launched last year in our home offices, but the plan was always to return to Holgate Road, where Letters of Distinction used to be based, as we had retained ownership of the building when we sold the business.

“The Coronavirus and subsequent lockdown delayed this somewhat, but we have carried out an extensive refurbishment programme at 169a Holgate Road, and are now in a position to open our doors safely to landlords and tenants.

“Government guidelines are now allowing us to carry out property checks, maintenance and viewings in person, whilst following strict social distancing guidelines.

“As we are a small family team, with trusted support staff that we have known for years, we are confident we can do this efficiently and safely.

“As lockdown restrictions ease, we are pleased to open the office from where we will be serving the property market in our home city, but also in the surrounding areas of Harrogate, Wetherby, Thirsk, Ripon, Leeds and beyond.”
