Get to know us better

We’re an honest, independent estate agent based in Morley who put you first.

Our story

Shaun Mellor was founded in 2010 in Morley with a simple belief: property should be handled properly, honestly and with genuine care for the people involved.

Before setting up the business, Shaun built his career in mortgages and commercial finance, working closely with estate agents and seeing first-hand what worked — and what didn’t. Too often, clients were treated like numbers rather than people. He knew there was a better way to do things.

So he created an independent agency focused on straight-talking advice, strong communication and doing exactly what he promised. The business grew steadily through word of mouth and recommendations, not big advertising budgets. In 2016, Mark joined as Lettings Director, bringing deep expertise in compliance and property management. Simon followed in 2019, strengthening the lettings team, and Caris joined in 2021, progressing from weekend support to a key member of the sales team.

Together, they built a close-knit, knowledgeable team that genuinely cares about getting things right. Today, Shaun Mellor remains proudly independent, helping buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants across Morley, South Leeds and surrounding areas, with the same hands-on approach it started with.

As a trusted local estate agent in Morley and South Leeds, we continue to focus on long-term relationships, not quick wins — because that’s how great service is built.

MEET THE TEAM

Our community

Property is about people more than buildings. Over the years, we’ve built strong connections across Morley, South Leeds and surrounding communities. We know local business owners, tradespeople, landlords, tenants and homeowners personally. These relationships allow us to bring people together, recommend trusted contacts and offer support beyond the transaction.

It’s this sense of connection and care that sets us apart.

My boyfriend and I are in the process of renting a property through Shaun Mellor. From the moment we enquired right up until now (referencing stage) we have been really blown away by how helpful Mark and Simon have been. They have both been really quick with their responses and have helped us in every way we have needed. They’ve been fantastic. Mark took his time getting to understand our situation and booking our viewing and Simon spent a great deal of time showing us around and answering our many many questions! Thank you both so much!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Shaun Mellor Property Services to find tenants for my bungalow, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and efficient. Mark in lettings was particularly fantastic, maintaining continuous communication and providing updates every step of the way. His professionalism and friendliness made the experience even better.

A brilliant, personalised service from start to finish when selling our home. Shaun and Caris were a great support throughout, always available or getting back to us very quickly whenever we had anything to discuss. Would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone looking to sell their home. Mark and Debs, Tingley
