Dafydd Hardy Estate Agents, estate agency and chartered surveyors in Gwynedd, Anglesey and Conwy

Dafydd Hardy Estate Agents and Chartered Surveyors is an employee-owned independent business with five offices covering the areas of Gwynedd, Anglesey and Conwy in North Wales. It was founded in 1992 by Dafydd Hardy and Richard Thomas, both RICS chartered surveyors, and presents itself as a well-established firm in the region, with expertise in residential sales, lettings, surveys and commercial property transactions.

According to the company's own information, its founders remain involved in day-to-day operations, supported by industry software and techniques to adapt to the changing market. The firm states that it has received numerous awards and has been recognised as 'Best Estate Agents in Wales' for several years, an achievement it attributes to the more than 1,800 reviews received on AllAgents, a UK property review platform.

Residential sales and property marketing

The sales area covers the marketing of homes and advice to buyers and sellers. The company offers property valuations and publishes a catalogue of properties for sale on its website in locations such as Bangor, Llanfairfechan, Llandudno, Llanberis, Caernarfon, Brynsiencyn, Llanfairpwll, Dwygyfylchi and Penmaenmawr, with asking prices at the time of analysis ranging from £130,000 to £495,000.

Services associated with sales include marketing the property and the option to commission a survey. The company also presents itself as a local relocation agent and notes that it works with around 500 fellow Relocation Agent offices across England, Scotland and Wales to broaden the exposure of properties and increase buyer activity.

Lettings, property management and student accommodation

In the lettings field, the firm manages residential properties and offers services to landlords and tenants. Its lettings catalogue includes properties in Llandudno, Bangor, Llandegfan, Menai Bridge and Rowen, with monthly rents at the time of enquiry ranging from £395 to £1,500.

The company states it has over 25 years of experience in the property sector and offers property management services tailored to each landlord's needs, with attention to regulatory compliance. The Bangor office has a student lettings department and a property management team specifically dedicated to managing student properties in that city.
