About this agent

'Durham born and bred with twenty years of experience in estate agency' Our philosophy is simple: “It’s our own business and it’s our names above the door so we care passionately about building a reputation for first class service on all levels. There is no 'one size fits all' approach to looking after Landlord and Tenants alike. What is a Landlord's valuable investment, or potentially their former residence, is now the home of the Tenants and their family. It is vital that we tailor-make each service to ensure that each Tenancy is handled with the care and attention that all our clients expect.” Property professionals with experience in all aspects of the Lettings process, from the Marketing & Advertising, Credit Checks & Referencing, to the Property Management & Accounting with a thorough understanding of legal implications and up to date Tenancy Legislation. Providing Tenant Finding Services to all Landlords, alongside single tenancy, or portfolio management. As Landlord's themselves, they understand the necessity of maintaining a healthy, and long-standing relationship between Landlord and Tenant. “Based on our years of experience, we’ve come to understand the importance of Letting Agents having the relevant qualifications, and being members of the various Accreditation Bodies. For too long, we feel it has been far too easy for Agents to simply sprout-up as a ‘back bedroom outfit’ without any requirement to demonstrate that they have the means, knowledge, and expertise needed to ensure that the Landlord, their Property, and most importantly, their Tenants’ monies are being handled in the correct or legal manner. Having both gained the professional industry qualifications in Residential Lettings & Property Management, we have a thorough understanding of the legal position of us, as an Agent, and all best practises when dealing with all aspects of Residential Tenancies” Client Money Protection is provided by ARLA Propertymark.
