Helen Thring
Marketing & Operations Manager
Helen is Nick’s sister and she successfully set up and established our Lettings Department back in 2013. Having spent much of her career prior to DY working in marketing, Helen now heads up our Marketing & Operations department. This suits her organisational skills, creativity and keen eye for detail perfectly! She loves taking long walks with her Labrador Finn and when time permits, travelling and visiting new places around the globe.
Top of my bucket list is…
To keep travelling, visit more new countries and ultimately, one day explore Europe in a (very comfortable!) camper van.
My guilty pleasure…
Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream. Probably best to just not buy it!
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
Less shy/more confident. Still working on it…
If I were a superhero, my superpower would be…
To help find a cure for cancer and dementia. Here’s hoping.
On Sunday morning, you can usually find me…
Up bright and early for a long dog walk in the countryside.
You might be surprised to know that…
One of my earliest qualifications as a teenager was as a Clarks trained shoe fitter. Ohh, all those back to school shoes!

No-one likes paying bills. Especially when there seems to be little tangible return for their money. After all, if you buy a sofa, you have a sofa to enjoy. But paying a plumber to repair a leaking pipe or a solicitor to buy your next property offers little in return. It is a necessary expense to avoid disaster!
Perhaps then, it’s worth considering for one minute just what an estate agent does for their fee and why it is money well spent.
For most people, buying or selling their home is the largest transaction of their life. In Bracknell, the average home is now well over £300,000 (January 2016) and as a homeowner, obtaining even 4% more for your home could mean thousands or tens of thousands of pounds in extra sales price. You might therefore consider that employing the most effective representative to act on your behalf in the marketing and sale of your most valuable asset is plain common sense.
After all, saving 1% in estate agent’s fees might seem attractive but if that estate agent offers you a substandard service and advice how much has he really cost you?
At Duncan Yeardley we have decades of experience to draw upon. Our local knowledge and profile means we know the intricacies of the local market. Where’s hot and why and what your property is really worth.
But once our professional team has secured a sale and agreed terms that best suit you, our job is only half done. We will hold your hand throughout the process, liaising between you, your solicitor and the buyer, making sure that wherever possible we avoid the pitfalls that might catch out the unwary or inexperienced.
You wouldn’t employ a doctor based upon how cheap he was would you? So why employ the person that you will be trusting with the sale of your home on the same criteria? At Duncan Yeardley we offer a professional, local service at competitive rates. We know what our advice and service is worth and our clients do to.
