Gemma Dawe
Spear’s Review
Gemma Dawe is a Lake District native who knows the area and local agents intimately, and puts her experience to great effect as a buying agent at her company, Lake District Relocation.
Many of her deals are conducted off market, acting as a conduit to ready buyers for local contacts. Large lakeside properties can reach between more than £5 million, or Dawe can advise on buying existing properties to redevelop. She told Spear’s: ‘If you’re going to build in the area you’re often better off buying a bungalow for $500,000, knocking it down and building something that’ll be worth a lot more. We’re a national park and a Unesco World Heritage Site, it’s very strict so you have to know how to navigate that.
Dawe is expanding into the Yorkshire Dales.
