Welcome
2025 has been another year of strong growth for the Ashtons Group. We continue to be market leaders across key areas of the property sector, proving that small independent companies can ourish regardless of market trends.
Across residential sales, lettings and holiday lets, we have helped thousands of clients achieve their property goals. In residential sales, demand remains strong in York, with over 600 completed sales handled by Ashtons. This number has been supported by easing interest rates and York’s continued appeal as a place to live and invest.
Within our lettings business, forthcoming regulatory changes, including the Renters Reform Act, are expected to encourage longer-term, more secure tenancies, providing greater stability for both landlords and tenants. Our holiday lettings department has also had an exceptional year, managing over 12,000 bookings
and arrivals. Holiday lets continue to offer strong income opportunities for property owners while ensuring visitors enjoy high-quality, memorable stays in York.
Our holistic approach to property sets us apart. By bringing together residential sales, residential lettings, holiday lettings, block property management and commercial sales, we can provide a complete service for our clients. Even with our leading presence in the market, we continue to operate as a small, independent business focused solely on York and the surrounding area.
Our greatest strength continues to be our people. With three team members celebrating 20 years with the company and a further five reaching 10 years, our growth has been driven by loyalty, experience and a shared commitment to excellence. Looking ahead to 2026, we are excited to continue evolving and expanding our services, supporting even more clients as they navigate York’s property market with confidence, professionalism and strong results.
