Carter Property Services - Co Durham

North East (UK) Experts in Property Sales, Letting, Management and customised Investment advice

Sixteen years ago Glyn set up Carter Properties Services after identifying the demand and potential for properties in the area. Carter Property Services purchased six properties and meanwhile, Glyn’s building company was rapidly expanding and he was able to employ his first apprentice.

As Glyn’s family expanded, he required more space at home. An opportunity arose when he was able to purchase a three acre building plot on which he built their current home. One of the suppliers for the house had just bought a building plot in the South-West area of France. He bought two plots and built two stunning villas.

The villas are now rented out as holiday lettings. Using equity from the family home, Glyn was able to put deposits down for 25 properties in the Sunderland area.

​The building company has continued to grow which employs a team who refurbish and maintain properties and an administrative team who oversee and manage the day-to-day administration of the properties.

The property management side of the business started with Glyn’s son’s teacher needing someone to look after their asset. It came at a good time and it was seen as a perfect opportunity to expand.

​It wasn’t long before we expanded further. It was instigated with a couple living in London who wanted to invest in rental properties in the North East. We sourced a number of properties for them, refurbished and found tenants for them. We now manage a growing number of properties for people who don't necessarily have the time or skill to manage the properties themselves. We provide a stress free solution for investors and a prompt efficient service to tenants in the properties we manage.

​Carter Properties owner Glyn Carter regularly appears on the BBC programme Homes Under The Hammer. Carter Properties now run and own over 300 properties in the North East.

​Our experience comes for personal exposure to real situations. We can deliver at many levels because of our deep rooted knowledge of properties in the North East of England. We are a trusted pair of hands because we have lived and breathed all levels of properties in the North east for over 30 years.

Whether you are looking for sound investment advice, or a safe pair of hands to manage your property portfolio, we would love to help.
