Aycliffe Homes was founded by ourselves as a family built business; We currently have a team of three, Kevin, Shabnum & Jessica who all have a huge passion for properties… After working for large and small corporate companies throughout the North East we have established where the short falls are and adapted to them. We aim to keep our costs low and our service high. We are all highly motivated to get you the best possible price for your home and although our fees are low, we don’t scrimp on our advertising or dedication to get your home sold or let. In fact it’s our favorite part of the job, finding buyers and tenants! We have access to a database of pre-registered buyers and tenants who are all waiting for properties.
