  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 Consett Property Market

Consett has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent decades, evolving from its steelmaking roots into a vibrant town with a strong community spirit and some genuinely good-value property on offer.

The surrounding countryside is stunning. The Derwent Valley, Chopwell Woods and the wider Durham Dales are right on the doorstep, making Consett an increasingly attractive choice for buyers looking to balance space, affordability and quality of life. With Durham City and Newcastle both within commuting distance, demand for homes across the Consett area has remained consistently healthy.

First-time buyers are particularly well served here, with a good mix of terraced homes and semis at prices that are hard to match elsewhere in the region. Families are drawn to the area’s schools, open space and community feel, while investors find solid rental demand and attractive yields across the DH8 postcode.
