The hall has a rich and cherished history. It is believed to have been built in the 1720s for the Myers family, although evidence remains of an earlier house, possibly from the 16th or 17th Century. It then passed to the Cunliffe Lister family in the early 19th Century and then the Smith family. It was bought in 1908 by George Douglas of the Bradford Dyers Association.

On the death of George’s son Keith, in 1947, it was taken over by the West Riding County Council and was used as a home for the elderly. In 1990 it was sold for private use and has been in the same family ownership since.

The sale of Farfield Hall provides a rare opportunity. In need of restoration and modernisation. The potential is vast and the sale presents a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a genuine trophy property in a beautiful setting.

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
