HIGH demand is being experienced for housing in the Aire Valley, according to one estate agent.

Dacre, Son & Hartley says it has sold all but one property at two new developments in the area, on behalf of Arncliffe Homes.

At the four-home Highfields scheme in East Morton, three properties have been sold off-plan.

And at The Fairways in Bingley, all ten detached houses were snapped-up within months of going on the market.

Steven Potts, a director at Dacre, Son & Hartley, said: “New homes in the Aire Valley built to such a high specification and quality are relatively rare so these two developments have been hugely popular.

“The success is also reflected in the wider market in the area. There are a lot of active buyers searching and a major shortage of housing stock.”
