Letting agent in Market Harborough

Yes — Clarke Properties is a local, independent letting agent covering Market Harborough and the villages around it. We're a small, family-run team based nearby in Lutterworth, and we look after lettings across South Leicestershire, so we know this part of the county well.

For landlords, that means straightforward advice, careful tenant referencing and hands-on property management from people you can actually get hold of. For tenants, it means a friendly point of contact and a fair, well-run home. No hype, no call centres — just genuinely helpful lettings.

Market Harborough is an affluent Georgian market town of around 25,000 people, sitting where the River Welland meets the Grand Union Canal. Its handsome conservation area, independent shops and the landmark spire of St Dionysius church give it real character, and demand for rental homes here is consistently strong — helped in large part by the fast rail link to London.

The rental stock is varied. In and around the town centre you'll find Victorian and Georgian terraces, period cottages and converted apartments, while the streets bordering Welland Park and off St Mary's Road are among the most sought-after addresses. Further out, newer estates such as Farndon Fields add modern family houses to the mix, and the surrounding villages offer everything from stone cottages to larger detached homes.

Because the town appeals to commuters, families and downsizers alike, well-presented properties tend to let steadily. Rents here generally sit a little above the wider Leicestershire average, reflecting the town's popularity — though the right figure always depends on the individual property, its condition and location, so it's best to ask us for a realistic, up-to-date guide.

The biggest driver of rental demand here is connectivity. Market Harborough's station runs direct trains to London St Pancras in around an hour, which makes the town a genuine option for commuters — and keeps demand for quality rental homes high. By road, the A6 links north to Leicester (about 15 miles) and south towards Kettering and the A14, while the M1 and M6 are within reasonable reach for those working across the Midlands.

Schools are a big pull for families: the town is well served by the highly regarded Robert Smyth Academy and Welland Park Academy, along with primaries such as Little Bowden School, St Joseph's and Market Harborough C of E Academy. Add Welland Park, a thriving independent high street, the canal and plenty of surrounding countryside, and you have a town that appeals to families, professionals and downsizers alike — all of which supports steady, reliable tenant demand.
