The company set up at the start of the recession in 2008 and throughout the challenging economic times has grown to a 5 office network that includes all property services including a financial services division.

Our success is built from doing the ordinary things extraordinarily well, as the judges in the 2012 Estate Agent of the Year awards commented. We focus on regular communication with buyers and sellers to intelligently match the two together using a combination of cutting edge technology and old fashioned hard work.

Comment on agent fees
Very expensive, may be in line with York where Preston Baker came from but this is humble Doncaster! Takes a lot to push them down at all and even then they won't move much. They ask for an awful lot for what they give. We paid our solicitor about half the amount and he did about twice as much work.

Preston Baker also trade in Leeds and Selby which have more similarities than York to Doncaster's market place and our fees are representative of the service and result we look to deliver. Preston Baker are ranked 7th I the entire UK for customer service and were voted the 'best small agency In the UK' by the Sunday ...
