Would you spend £300 million on a train to Leeds? According to news just released by the government and the YEP, the answer is an emphatic yes. £300 million is about to be expended on improving the rail network to Leeds, which means that 10 million people will be within a one hour train ride of our city. Good news or bad news? We think it’s good and here’s why. With such [...]

We don’t just help sellers, we help buyers too. The lifeblood of any estate agent is getting listings and seeing those listings through to exchange of contract and completion – if we didn’t we’d quickly develop a poor reputation as leading Leeds estate agents and have no commission. It’s why independent estate agencies like Hogan’s differ from the many online choices you now [...]

A few weeks ago, we posted an old photo of Harehills from 1897 when the area was being developed. The photo characterised it as a Leeds suburb of terraced homes and indeed little has changed since. In this latest article, we look at Harehills, just as we did with Beeston in an editorial some time ago. If you’re familiar with Leeds, you’ll know some basics about the area. It sits between [...]

Decluttering your West Yorkshire home can add value. Yes it can. How? Let us explain. We've all been there - that stark, empty house when the removal company are carrying in furniture, beds and white goods for you to watch aghast at the disappearing space. Space really does appear to be the final frontier. Decluttering though is apparently all the rage (we've read three articles [...]

As Leeds estate and letting agents, we posed a question status on our Facebook page asking this: Out of four northern cities: Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester and Newcastle Upon Tyne, which city centre has the highest average property price? Everybody, practically, went all Manc and opted for our drizzly Pennine neighbour. But you know what? They were wrong. Wrong of course if you [...]

We live in 2017, a time when young and old are glued to tablets and smartphones to such an extent that drivers using mobile phones face punitive penalties if caught. We're not here, as a leading independent Leeds estate agency, to discuss the whys and wherefores of the law, but rather to look at why we at Hogan's have embraced the smartphone and tablet age. We know, that if you're looking [...]
