A Vision for Better Estate Agency. My name is Adrian John McAteer, and I established McAteer Property Consultants with a single, defining purpose: to prove that estate agency can be done differently, and it can be done better.

Having observed the property market for years, I saw a widening gap between what clients needed and what the "high street standard" was providing. Too often, the industry felt transactional focused on volume rather than value, and numbers rather than people.

I saw services that were over-promised, over-complicated, and under-delivered, leaving vendors, tenants, investors, and landlords bewildered. I said: ‘No more’. I launched this business in Knottingley, West Yorkshire, to disrupt that narrative.

Why I Started the Business

I did not set out to build just another estate agency; I set out to build a brand synonymous with integrity and transparency.

I founded this company because I believe every property owner, whether selling a terraced home in West Yorkshire or a portfolio of investments deserves a consultant, not just a salesperson. I wanted to create an environment where:

  • Communication is constant: You never have to chase us for an update.
  • Advice is honest: Even if it means telling you something you might not want to hear, simply because it is the truth.
  • Service is personal: You deal with a name and a face, not a call centre.

Serving Our Local Community

The West Yorkshire area is where our heart is. It is the foundation upon which this business is built.

For our local community, my goal is to be a stabilizing force in the market. We are here to help local families move up the ladder, assist first-time buyers in navigating a complex market, and help local landlords manage their assets safely and legally. By offering a premium service without the corporate detachment, we are helping to keep the local property market fluid and healthy.

A Complete Property Ecosystem

True property consultancy is about more than just the transaction; it is about the entire journey. I wanted to create a business that offers something for everyone, regardless of their needs.

We have evolved into a hub where every aspect of your property requirements is catered for. Whether you require expert financial guidance to secure a mortgage, trusted legal support for conveyancing, or strategic advice on sourcing your next investment, we have curated a suite of invaluable services under one roof.

From the first-time buyer needing a hand-holding approach to finance, to the seasoned developer requiring complex compliance advice, we provide a subtle, tailored solution for every requirement. We handle the heavy lifting across the board so that you can focus on the excitement of the move.

A Local Heart with National Ambition

While our roots are firmly in West Yorkshire, my vision for McAteer Property Consultants extends far beyond the local postcode.

As we grow, the goal is to expand our footprint across the wider UK, taking the "McAteer Standard" to a national audience. However, scale will never come at the cost of service.

My strategy is to replicate our local success by ensuring that, no matter where we operate in the UK, we retain the agility and personal touch of a boutique agency.

We are building a model that combines the reach and technology of a national firm with the care and accountability of a local expert.

My Promise to You

Whether you are a neighbour in Knottingley or a client from further afield joining us on our journey of growth, my promise remains the same:

"We will treat your property asset with the same care, due diligence, and commercial focus as if it were our own."

That’s why we say: Your Property – Our Expertise.
