about us

mission statement

It is our simple ambition to develop a business which is synonymous with city living in Leeds and to engage our clients in such a way that they will not only stay with us over the long term but will also recommend us along the way.

With a unique approach to selling and renting and a philosophy based on energy, knowledge and passion, we are definitely not your typical estate agent.

Call us, let us know what you are looking for and find out why.

our chosen charities

We are proud supporters of a number of charities and do all we can to support their work:

St Georges Crypt
Jonathan Morgan is a member of the advisory board to the Next Step project. This project aims to provide a much-needed residential rehabilitation facility for drug dependent individuals in Leeds and Morgans supports the charity at every opportunity.

Variety Club
Morgans and Variety Club were the originators of the Resi Props Party Night. Typically the evening raises around £70,000 for the Variety Club, which supports sick and disadvantaged children in Yorkshire. Morgans have also historically supported the Property Awards event at Rudding Park and they and their generous guests over the years have funded two Variety Club Sunshine Coaches.

Willow Young Carers
We host a party at Christmas for around 25 young people to give them a short break from their full time roles as carers to sick or disabled adults. Some of them are as young as 12 or 13 and it is an honour to help them enjoy themselves for a few hours. This event is organised in conjunction with Junior Chamber International

Leeds Community Foundation
Jonathan Morgan sits on the Development Commitee of the Foundation and is a proud patron of the 100 Club which aims to ‘sign up’ 100 people, families or organisations to give £1000 each year which effectively guarantees the future of the Foundation.

Lionheart
The Crypt Factor, of which we are sponsors, is an annual fun event at which well known property professionals from the Leeds business community sing a song in front of three ‘judges’, very much in the style of the X Factor. The event raises tens of thousands of pounds annually which is shared between St George’s Crypt and Lionheart, the charity for Chartered Surveyors who find themselves in hard times through illness or accident. Around 500 guests enjoy the event each year.
