Making Property Personal Carlisle Estate Agent

My name is Nikki Lusher, proud mum to my amazing, gaming mad son Corey. Originally from the quiet town of Hexham in Northumberland, I moved to Carlisle in 2010 and fell in love with this fantastic City and its incredible surroundings, and now I can’t imagine living anywhere else.

My entire career has been in the housing industry, starting in Local Authority, moving on to New Homes and then for the last decade Estate Agency, where I have worked as a Negotiator before progressing to Valuation Manager for a huge national company. I was delighted to learn last year that I had put more properties on the market than any other Valuer in the company across the Country – which was a huge achievement.

I have a fantastic proven track record and a real passion for what I do. I run my business with you, the customer at the heart, and because I work differently to other estate agents in the area, I don’t need to have 20 + properties on my books, meaning I can give the attention deserved to each of my customers, their property and potential buyers. If a buyer calls or if a client has a question, I don’t want them having to wait for me to get back to them.

If you are looking for someone with a friendly and honest approach with bundles of property experience to help you have a smooth journey and guide you through the process, then choose me ‘Your local bespoke agent’. I will look after you from start to finish, from valuing your property, negotiating your offer, to completion/moving day.

‘They say that when you do a job you love, you will never work another day in your life’.

I pride myself on offering a truly personal service that sets me apart from other agents in the Carlisle area. Unlike larger, corporate agencies, I focus on building genuine relationships with my clients, ensuring that I understand their unique needs and property goals.

From the initial consultation to the final sale, I provide tailored support, offering clear communication and expert advice at every step.

I’m available for my clients whenever they need, providing flexible appointments and being on-hand to answer any questions, reducing the stress often associated with selling or buying a property. With a focus on client satisfaction, my personal service ensures each transaction is handled with care, professionalism, and integrity, making your property journey smooth and successful.

My in-depth knowledge of the Carlisle market means I can offer honest, informed guidance to help you achieve the best possible result.

As a local estate agent in Carlisle, my in-depth knowledge of the local property market is vital to anyone looking to sell their home successfully.

Understanding the nuances of the Carlisle market – from neighbourhood desirability and property demand to pricing trends – allows me to offer accurate valuations, ensuring your home is neither overvalued nor undersold. I am attuned to shifts in buyer preferences, whether it’s proximity to local schools, transport links, or Carlisle’s historical attractions.

This expertise enables me to highlight your property’s most appealing features to the right audience, increasing the chances of a faster and more profitable sale. By knowing which homes are selling quickly and why, I can advise you on how to best present your property, including necessary improvements or staging tips.

The Carlisle property market has remained resilient through 2025, with the average home now priced at around £212,000 — a modest rise of approximately 1% over the past year. While transaction volumes have dipped by roughly 14%, steady buyer interest, particularly from those seeking to relocate for lifestyle reasons, has helped maintain price stability.

Family homes with generous gardens, period features, or countryside views continue to attract strong competition, often selling at a premium of 15–20% above the local average. This demand is driven both by local buyers and those moving from larger cities, drawn by Carlisle’s blend of affordability, space, and excellent transport links.

Looking ahead, the market is expected to remain balanced, with well-presented homes in desirable areas achieving healthy sale prices. Sellers who invest in presentation and marketing are likely to benefit from shorter selling times, while buyers may still find value in properties requiring some modernisation. Carlisle’s mix of historic charm, modern amenities, and easy access to the Lake District continues to make it a highly appealing place to live.
