🏡 Truly Local. Proudly Focused.
At Leightons, local really means local. The team live right here in the South Craven villages, Cross Hills, Glusburn, Sutton-in-Craven and just next door in Eastburn. It’s where our families go to school, where friendships have grown, and where home still means something real.
This is the area we focus on. Every home we sell sits within the South Craven School catchment, the same community we chose for our own families. When schooling mattered to us, this is where we wanted to be, and it’s where we’ve chosen to work. Leightons is the only estate agent dedicated exclusively to the South Craven villages.
We’re often asked to sell homes in Skipton, The Dales, Keighley, Bingley and even across into Lancashire. In the past, we’ve helped a few sellers there, but we’ve since chosen to stay closer to home. Not because those areas aren’t great, but because a home deserves to be sold by someone who truly knows and cares about the place. If it’s not somewhere we’d live ourselves, we’re not the right agents for it, but we’re always happy to recommend someone who is.
We’re also proud to be the only sales-only estate agent based in the village. No lettings. No commercial work. No distractions. Just helping homeowners move from where they are, to where they want to be.
It’s all we do and we do it well. That focus has earned us multiple awards for property sales, along with more reviews and recommendations than any other local agent. Over 250 Google reviews and counting.
Who better to sell a home in the area than the people who call it home themselves?

What our customer’s say

Fast forward 6 months and Leightons had a house listed that was exactly what we were looking for. Helen and the team kept us informed throughout, very helpfully advised on various parts of the process which helped us complete on our first home comfortably before Christmas. We cannot thank everyone at Team Leightons enough! Would recommend to anybody and we hope to use again. Thank you!
It started with Michael's open and practical advice about how best to market the house, and continued throughout the sale. The whole team kept me informed every step of the way which was brilliant. Helen was proactive and drove the sale with all parties and was lovely to deal with throughout.
I cannot recommend Leighton's highly enough.
I recently had a pleasure to be dealing with Leightons when purchasing a home and my experience was very positive.
Most contact I had was with Helen who is amazing at her job and very dedicated and informative, she was constantly 3 steps ahead of everyone else and was on the phone or email with an answer before I could even ask the question.
Having said all that even i only had a little dealings with the rest of the staff I could sense the same level of commitment from Michael, Emma and Charlotte so thank you team for all your hard work and for making all the process very easy. You all should be very proud of the work you do as you are all amazing and if I ever have look for an Estate Agent in the future you guys will definitely be the first place I would come to.
10 stars out of 5
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Having dealt with other estate agents through the viewing properties side I can 100% say Leighton's are by far the best.
Communication was fabulous,advise was always spot on and all done in a lovely/friendly manner.
I would recommend using Leighton's to anyone considering buying or selling .
Michael was always available to provide expert advice about marketing my house and how we could achieve the best price which is exactly what the team managed in the office. Helen was fantastic and always kept us informed of the progress of the sale without me needing to ask for updates. Their communication and service is next level and I would highly recommend the Leightons team to anybody looking to sell their house in the area!
their services to anyone buying or selling a home.
We are so happy we are now all moved in and ready to begin the next chapter of our lives.
Kind Regards

Made my house sale very easy, 100% use Leightons in the future.
Me and my partner bought our first house through Leightons and Emma especially was amazing throughout the whole process, she was very professional and so lovely. Emma was always on hand to answer any question we had as being first time buyers we were new to the whole process, she kept in contact regularly throughout with updates and query’s and just made use feel at ease the whole time we can’t thank her enough for all the advice and support given to us.
If you’re looking to buy or even sell then I would really recommend leightons nothing is ever too much trouble for them, they really have been amazing!🤩
They went out of their way to sort out a whole day worth of viewings at short notice to a restrictive criteria, showing us houses we wouldn't have previously considered (including the one we ultimately bought) - special thanks to Emma for that.
Then throughout the whole process Helen has constantly kept us up to date with the progress of the sale/purchase not just for this property but the whole chain including our for own buyers. Not to mention always being on hand for any random questions I had throughout. Keeping the process completely stress free!
Massive credit to their industry and its almost a shame we are in our forever home now, because I would 100% look to them for any sale or purchase we'd do in the future.
Right from the word ‘go’, Michel outshine all the other estate agents who came to value my house, showing real interest and commitment to the marketing of my property. He listened carefully to all the sales points he could use, and this came back to me via the viewers.
If I sell in the future, I would not hesitate to use Leighton’s. They would be my first choice every time and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were always available to assuage any concerns I had. In a climate where house selling has been extremely hard, a complete triumph!!!! (Sold for asking price).
AND, Leightons recommended someone for house clearance who could not have been more accommodating and personal. Thanks again Karl.
From the first viewing right up until getting the keys they were very informative! Special thanks to Helen as she was on the ball giving us information each week and to help push the sale going through so we got the house before the baby arrived!
Helen kept me updated , nothing was too much trouble . I never felt as though I was bothering her when asking questions. I’m so impressed with the outstanding customer service that I will definitely be using them again and recommending them to everyone.
Thank you so much to all at Leightons
Third transaction now.
Not letting me add a new review so adding to an existing one.
The team from initial valuation to marketing and all importantly managing chain situations and providing updates will not be beaten….
Recommend all day long….a local treasure really.
Buyer and seller experience here
More power to you Michael & Helen…
All going through, contracts signed when we lost our buyer.
With the amazing kindness, going above the already high customer service. Helen made it possible with regular contacts with the chain, solicitors, estate agents to allow us 2 weeks to resell, which we did in order to keep the chain. Helen continued with all contacts and updates, offering very welcome advice, right to the end.
If it wasn't for Helen with all her unbelievable help we would have lost our forever home.
Leightons also recommended our mortgage broker and solicitors who also did a fantastic job.
I cannot give enough praise and thanks to Leightons Estate agents
I highly recommend Leightons to everyone I speak to.
Thank you to all the team at Leightons, Michael, Helen, Laura and Emma.
They were very transparent re value and fees for our sale and helped massively with negotiations on both sides.
We chose to swap the property we were buying half way through the process and the team took that in their stride and just did what was best for us always.
We're so happy and so thankful that the process was as smooth as it was. We would use leightons again for sure if we ever chose to move again.
Thank you
I would like to thank you Leighton team for your help and support. Special thanks to Helen ☺️
would highly recommend Leightons to anyone who is thinking of buying or selling. Thankyou to all of you Dawn
During our process of selling our property and looking for a new one, we experienced the good, the bad and the ugly and Leightons were by far the best I’ve come across.
Keep up the great work!
The professional, friendly and supportive team are literally on hand at every stage of conveyancing.
The process of selling and buying was made so easy through the virtual viewing aswell as being able to view at your convenience.
The WhatsApp group is a game changer ????- fantastic concept and the team on hand literally straight away!
This has been THE LEAST stressful move ever- these guys rock ✨️????????✅️
Throughout my interactions with them, their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, understanding, and cooperation. They listened attentively to my requirements and went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. Their in-depth knowledge of the local housing market and the properties they represented was truly commendable. One aspect that particularly stood out to me was their willingness to accommodate Sharia-compliant banks. This level of inclusivity and respect for diverse financial requirements showcases their commitment to meeting the needs of a wide range of clients.
Although my personal preferences ultimately led me to pursue other options, I wholeheartedly recommend Leighton Estate Agents to anyone in search of a reputable and reliable agency. Their dedication to providing exceptional service, combined with their outstanding selection of properties, makes them a leading choice in the local market around. Should I reconsider my housing options in the future, they will undoubtedly be my first choice.
We can definitely recommend Leightons if you are looking for your next home.
Would highly recommend Leightons to the world ???? thank you to the Leightons team. X
If we ever come to sell again in the future, Leightons would definitely be our number one choice.
Leightons are easy to contact, friendly and always got back to us swiftly. The sale completed yesterday and we're more than happy with the service Michael, and the other staff at Leightons, provided.
Genuinely lovely company to deal with so unlike others I have used locally.
They truly deserve success in a competitive market .
Try them you won’t be disappointed .
Thanks to them all once more
Everything was spot on, from chasing up updates from solicitors/mortgage brokers to the extra effort shown in getting the house purchase completed.
100% recommended!
I would definitely recommend Joanne.
And a lovely touch with the moving in bottle, thank you 😊 from the Westons
Amazing follow up process. Our sale turned out to be long and protracted and nothing was too much trouble for Leightons. They are proactive keep you well informed of what's going on with your sale and the chain. I honestly don't think we would have ended up moving home without them and their persistence. I would highly recommend them their service is second to non.
