Ian Butcher

Having working in the property industry since the early 1980s, I’m passionate about running my own company.

I first came to Barnsley in 1985 and worked for some of the leading names in the business before launching Butcher Residential.

Although I direct every aspect of the business, my favourite part is still meeting and helping our customers. What drives me more than anything is giving people valuable, relevant guidance to enable them to achieve their aims – whether that’s driven by price, timescale or other factors. Good, fair and well implemented advice is the most important aspect of what we do.

Personally, I’m a traditionalist and always warm to older period homes, particularly where a large welcoming hall is in evidence. I really believe a large hall can make a home.
