Melanie Duffin

Director

I am the director of Lifestyle Sales And Lettings and have been in property for 10 years. Before that, I travelled extensively and was a Personal Trainer for several years. I started the business myself with only a few properties 10 years ago as a lettings agency, and as my family of 3 boys had grown a little, I felt it was time to expand into sales too. I pride myself on having such an amazing team of people working with me, who are committed and incredibly loyal, I feel so fortunate to have them.

Out of work time, I like to spend time in France and love competing in Trail running, Triathlons, Ski Touring and Telemark Skiing. My goals this year is to expand the business and to compete in a Half Ironman in France.

Niall Hicks

Manager

Originally from Northern Ireland, I came to England to experience the university life and the pace of the big cities. I’ve been in property now for several years and find it extremely rewarding to find people their dream homes. When I’m not in the office you’ll find me working on my family home or enjoying the countryside and its fine dining.

Elaine Walker

Accounts & Lettings Co-Ordinator

I have now worked for Lifestyle for ten years after having previously worked in accounting and finance. My job role here is accounts and any financial dealings as well as handling the inspections of our managed portfolio. I have watched Lifestyle thrive and grow from the beginning so the sales market is a very exciting prospect. Away from work, I enjoy family time, socialising with friends and the odd party here and there! My goal for this year is to assist the team as we continue to expand.

Natalie Hulston 

Lettings co ordinator and manager

My job here at Lifestyle entails dealing with all maintenance issues and getting the right person, at the right price who will do a good job. This job was a new challenge for me and a bit of a change as I have been a senior carer for so many years. When I am not at work I enjoy passing my time with my fiancé organising our wedding for next year, socialising with my friends, spending time with my family. My main hobbies are horse racing, shopping and dining out.
