Company Values

Here at Nicholson & Co we believe that the best approach to development bridges the gap between modern innovation and authentic presentation. Based in Harrogate, we understand the need for properties and buildings which offer world-class interior facilities without damaging the traditional aesthetic – and it’s this connection between old and new which makes us so good at what we do.

With a small team of experts, we look beyond the tired aesthetic of an existing property or building and deliver exceptional upgrades which unite modern luxury with traditional grandeur.

What we Do

Nicholson & Co is owned and run by the Nicholson family – a local family with a combined passion for new development, bringing life to existing buildings via change of use or building new homes within the local area.

We acquire, re-position and develop property from land without planning through to change of use projects within the Yorkshire Area. We deliver development projects as part of our own growing portfolio as well as for clients, working across Harrogate and beyond to connect world-class luxury with varied and diverse spaces.

We acquire unused buildings and commercial spaces as well as private properties, including land and farm estates. undertaking high-end refurbishment and renovation work on behalf of our clients and as part of our own portfolio. Working on the basis of quality rather than quantity, every project we undertake is individual and unique, exploring different concepts and definitions of luxury within the confines of the client brief or the use of each space.

Whether retained as part of our own portfolio, sold, or handed back to the client, we believe that every project and development that we work on offers a new opportunity to maximise the return on each project from both an aesthetic and financial point of view. We are open to working with existing developers who require family office funding and need a go to, reliable lender, who understands how to maximise a business or property transaction for all stakeholders.
