Located on the west coast of Cumbria, Whitehaven is a town with a population approaching 25,000, with a fabulous marina.
Historically, the town grew due to coal mining, exporting this though the harbour. This lead to the creation of a Georgian planned town in the 18th century, leaving an architectural legacy of over 170 listed buildings.
Today, the major industry is the nearby Sellafield nuclear site at Seascale, the largest employer by far locally, the town benefitting from a large administration base near the centre.
The harbour has been renovated in recent years as part of millennium projects, providing many moorings in the marina. This has played host to many maritime festivals attracting tourism to the area.
The town is also a short distance from the Lake District National Park, close to the south western fringes of the park, which are often less populated during the tourist season.

I have nothing but praise for the way Tiffens have handled my house sale. Excellent customer care and support, communication at all times on progress, and specifically supporting my buyer with mortgage help and advice. I have, and will continue to recommend them to friends and family, genuinely couldn’t fault their service, walk into their office and it immediately demonstrates professionalism and efficiency... Thank you.

Selling your much loved family property can be a daunting prospect and difficult decision to make. After reading the website reviews I chose Tiffens. I found the whole experience a very positive one and with their help, we have been able to move forward in a very positive way. Nothing has seemed too much trouble from the very start to finish. I asked for a stress free sale they definitely delivered. Even when I could not drop off the keys on completion they helped me out too. Thank you to the whole team.
