The Only Independent Property Finder Living In The Area
If a home in the Lake District is your dream, then you’re in the right place
Welcome to Lake District Relocation. I’m Gemma Dawe and I specialise in helping people to find their ideal property in the glorious Lake District.
Finding the right property in the Lakes can be challenging, particularly if you live in another part of the country or overseas. And not all properties for sale are listed on the open market, which means the only way to find them is through connections and knowledge. My role is to guide, advise and find your dream home or investment property.
Local knowledge, experience and connections
I’m the only independent property finder in the Lake District that can offer you decades of experience and knowledge of the region. I grew up in the area, I’m a former Lake District estate agent and I also live and raise my family here. Nothing makes me happier than helping people find a property that they love.

Reviews
Mr & Mrs R.
“We are very happy we found Gemma, she is very knowledgeable and well connected to the local market. Her assistance has been invaluable and has simplified our relocation significantly. We are so grateful for her assistance. We would simply never have found the property without her. “
Mr & Mrs S.
“Gemma was very much in her element leading negotiations and driving through the various issues that came up through conveyancing. Ours was a tricky purchase and thank goodness we had gemma on our team! A stressful time made much easier by Gemma and her experience, not to mention her network!”
Mr C & Ms M.
“Gemma has gone above and beyond to help us find our perfect Lake District house this year. She never pressured us to just settle for houses that weren’t quite right for us, and always seemed happy to keep on looking. When we did find the right one, it wasn’t a straightforward purchase and her expertise was essential to getting our offer accepted and, later on, to finding a way through some tricky contract negotiations. We also greatly valued the advice and support she gave us when the sale of our house fell through – twice! – and she ensured we kept the faith and did not despair. That wasn’t directly linked to the house finding or purchase but she didn’t begrudge spending time with us, and this was for us an invaluable part of the personal service she provided. House buying is notoriously stressful but Gemma was our trusty guide throughout. Having finally cleared all the hurdles, we’re delighted with the outcome, and we have her to thank for a lot of that. Absolutely recommended!.”
Mr C.
“Without Gemma we literally wouldn’t have found our dream home! Our case wasn’t straightforward – we had specific needs and aren’t currently based in the UK so had further issues and logistics to overcome. Gemma took all of this in her stride, and was literally our eyes and ears in the Lakes, keeping us fully briefed and updated with regular calls, emails, photos and videos.
Gemma took everything in her stride delivered totally on our brief, finding us an off market property that met all our requirements. Gemma’s local knowledge, contacts and experience in the area are without equal, and she was able to use all her contacts to provide expert advice when we needed it, to advise, smooth and expedite the process whenever needed, from first photos to receiving the keys”
In 2025 Gemma saved her clients over a Million pounds through strategic negotiations.
