Through tailored marketing and a highly personal approach, we help homeowners achieve the best possible price while making the moving process smooth and stress-free. Who We Are
Chestnut Solutions Property Specialists was formed in 2017 by Richard and Julie Bray. Since then, we have built a strong reputation for delivering a first-class service, with the majority of our clients coming to us throug
h word-of-mouth recommendation. In May 2025 our youngest son Will joined the business, making Chestnut Solutions a genuine family-run company. Richard has worked within the property industry for nearly 20 years and Julie for almost 10 years, combining extensive professional experience with strong local knowledge of the York market. As a family-run business, our clients deal directly with us throughout the entire process, ensuring consistent communication and a genuinely personal service. What We Do
We specialise in helping homeowners achieve the best possible price for their property, while making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Our role is to guide clients through every stage of selling and buying, coordinating with solicitors, buyers, mortgage advisers and other professionals so our clients never feel overwhelmed or left in the dark. While many agents focus simply on securing an instruction, our approach is centred on achieving the strongest possible outcome for the seller through carefully planned marketing and skilled negotiation. We also provide professional negotiation support for onward purchases, helping our clients secure the best financial position when moving home. All of our services and systems have been developed with the client in mind, based on the experience we have gained over many years in the property industry. We take time to explain the strategies behind our recommendations, so clients feel confident in the process and understand how to achieve the best results. A large proportion of our business comes from recommendations from local professionals and previous clients. Many clients also return to us when they move again or recommend us to friends and family, something we are extremely proud of. We ensure every client receives the same high level of care and attention that has built our reputation. If you know someone thinking of moving, even if they would simply value some honest advice about the market, we are always happy to help.
