The 10 Best Letting Agents in Halifax (2026)

Halifax is a market town in the Metropolitan Borough of Calderdale, in West Yorkshire, sitting on the Hebble Brook in the Pennines with a population of around 90,000. Halifax railway station is on the Caldervale Line with direct Northern Rail services to Manchester Victoria (about 55 minutes) and Leeds (about 30 minutes); London King's Cross is reachable via the East Coast Main Line at Leeds. The M62 motorway is 5 miles south at Junction 24. Halifax's Victorian industrial heritage is exceptional: the Piece Hall (a Grade-I-listed cloth-trading hall, now a major events venue), Halifax Minster, the Eureka! Children's Museum, and the Dean Clough mill complex anchor a substantial cultural and visitor economy. The town has been the headquarters of Halifax Bank (now Lloyds Banking Group) since the 19th century. Housing stock varies from Pennine stone terraces in the central wards and along Pellon Lane, large Victorian villas around Savile Park and Skircoat, post-war semis throughout Mixenden and Illingworth, and modern developments around the M62 corridor and the Sowerby Bridge boundary.
