The developers of The Residences at Val d’Or are committed to delivering Yorkshire’s most exclusive new residential apartment scheme and to achieve this they have enlisted a team of professional consultants and suppliers to ensure that new owners enjoy a luxurious and comfortable lifestyle.
Hello, I am Christine Yorath, a Yorkshire girl who has lived in Lancashire as a student and Warwicks and London, Vancouver and Wales as a WAG. Numerous homes, four children, five grandchildren and careers as a beauty therapist, a football agent and a property developer have brought experience and diversity into my life. Whilst living in Vancouver in the early ‘80’s I was able to attend a formal interior design course to feed my passion.
Since 1980 I have had a skin care importing and distribution business and now share the Metrin Skincare European operation with my daughter, TV presenter, Gabby Logan.
In 1989 I bought my first investment property intending to keep it for rental but having fully refurbished it I sold it, made a good profit and for a few years I continued to do that with up to 3 houses at a time under development. This led to owning a rental portfolio of a few dozen properties and forming Flats in Leeds management company which managed over 1000 properties before it was sold to Countrywide in 2013. I also developed a number of sites with new build houses and apartment blocks of up to 28 apartments.
I have worked extensively on interior design projects and consultancy for other property developers, details of both can be found on my website.
My Property Experience
I bought my first investment property in 1989 building up a portfolio of over 30 properties and going on to become a developer in my own right mainly concentrating on developments of between 18 and 24 apartments in Leeds city centre and suburbs. Using my experience of professional team building I assisted in the development of one of the Norths largest waste transfer stations and have had other, albeit limited, experience on commercial development as I have concentrated mostly on high specification residential projects.
I am proud to have earned a respected reputation for my interiors and attention to detail in all the developments I have completed.
Refurbishing, furnishing, letting and managing my own rental portfolio led to the founding of my own rental and management company, “Flats in Leeds”, which grew over a number of years with the assistance of my son, Jordan Yorath, and a staff of 14 to a company managing several hundred properties before we sold to Countrywide in 2013. I stayed involved with Countrywide in the capacity of returning vacated properties back to a good letting standard after tenancies.
The recession of 2008 saw the cessation of most new development in the Leeds area where I mainly operated and my business interests diverted to refurbishment works of private and rental homes through the REVAMP brand which was originally the brain child of my son. REVAMP became very active and completed some lovely projects totally remodelling several private homes.
As the building industry crawled out of recession new opportunities arose I was actively involved in some really exciting projects with various developments such as 5 new mansion homes in Harewood, luxurious apartment conversions in York, new build cottages in North Yorkshire and the build of 11 houses in Scotland and I consulted on 4 large homes on a golf course in South Leeds as well as a large family home project in Shipley.
The most recent consulting projects have been on two luxury apartment schemes brought to the market in North Leeds where apartments at Silvergates broke the record for luxury apartment sales in Leeds.
