What Hayfield Robinson does

Hayfield Robinson is a privately-held UK property consultancy operating from three offices in West and North Yorkshire — Central Bradford, Central Keighley (primary contact location), and Ilkley. Founded by Chartered Surveyors Ian Hayfield and Justin Robinson, who together bring approaching 40 years of combined post-qualification experience, the firm serves commercial and residential property owners, occupiers, and investors across Bradford, Shipley, Bingley, Keighley, Skipton, Ilkley and surrounding areas. Its client base includes corporate organisations, private individuals, pension funds and trusts, and overseas investors, served by an 11–50 person team under a sales-led, consultative go-to-market built on personal client relationships and local market presence.

The firm's product portfolio spans commercial sales and lettings (industrial, offices, retail, and investment properties with guide prices ranging from £75,000 to £3,650,000), RICS-compliant valuations and surveys (for secured lending, pension funds, tax, probate, matrimonial, dispute resolution, and insurance reinstatement purposes), Business Rates appeals, rent reviews and lease renewals, acquisition search, comprehensive property management, and residential sales, lettings, and purchase advisory. Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-based commissions on property sales and lettings, supplemented by professional services fees for valuations and advisory work, with a more recurring stream from property management mandates. Pricing is quote-based with no standardised fee schedule disclosed publicly.

Hayfield Robinson holds no proprietary technology platform and has no disclosed AI/ML capability; its competitive positioning rests on senior-level expertise, RICS accreditation, deep local market knowledge, an extensive Bradford/Keighley business community contact base, and significant IT investment for property listings and portals. The firm is independently owned by its principals, with no institutional investors, private equity backing, parent company structure, or external funding identified in the available material, and it does not disclose revenue.
