  I had a really positive experience with Sylvester Properties throughout the purchase of my new home. Anna was particulary helpful and was professional, friendly and ensured that I received updates promptly. As a first time buyer, I was anxious however, the communicattion and support that I received made me feel as ease throughout the process. I would happily recommend Sylvester Properties to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you so much for your help!

  We recently had the pleasure of experiencing the support,guidance and help from Anna and the team at Sylvester Properties. Although we were purchasing a property which they held on their books we were genuinely grateful for their action throughout the purchasing stages which afforded a smooth transition. Should we consider selling in the future we would not hesitate to seek their help and would be willing to highly recommend them to our friends and family. A very big thank you goes out  to the whole Team.Bill & Alli.

  I had a great experience with Anna @ Sylvesters. As a first time single buyer it was quite daunting going into this experience but Anna kept me so well informed from the very first viewing right up until move in day. Absolute gem, thankyou 🤍

The Stanley Property Market

Stanley is a market town in County Durham with a strong sense of community and a rich history rooted in its mining heritage. It is a popular choice for first-time buyers and families looking for affordable, spacious homes within easy reach of Durham City, Newcastle and Gateshead.

The area has seen consistent demand in recent years, with terraced homes and semis attracting strong interest from buyers who want more space for their money than they would find closer to the city. The rental market is similarly buoyant, with solid yields for landlords, particularly for well-presented two and three-bedroom properties.

Stanley sits within easy commuting distance of Durham, Gateshead and the wider North East via the A693 and the A1(M). Nearby, Beamish Museum is one of the region’s most-loved attractions, and the Causey Arch, the world’s oldest surviving railway arch, is just a short drive away.
