  We viewed a property that was listed on Sylvester Properties and from the initial conversation woth Anna and to the first viewing with Katherine everything was explained and we were allowed to take our time to view. This gave us the time to get a feel if it would be our long term home. From that first visit to the second, the home has now become our long term home. Sylvester advised us along the way, gave us full updates on progress and helped us seal the sale. Id definitely recommend Sylvester and the lovely team.

Thanks so much again to everyone at Sylvester Properties.

  Great job from Anna and the team from Sylvester Properties on selling my Aunt's house. What could easily have been a very stressful process, was made relatively easy.  From the valuation to completion, they kept us informed every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend them if you're buying or selling a property. Well done to all involved.

  Katherine, Anna, and the whole team at Sylvester have been nothing less than amazing throughout the entire process of selling our house. I’m not planning on moving again, but if I did, I’d not hesistate to list with and use them again. They’ve made what is a messy, drawn out process feel much easier and I can’t thank them enough.

  Just sold my family house through Sylvester Properties. The service provided by Anna and Katherine was fantastic. They made the process so much easier, ensured that they were in contact with all parties on a regular basis and kept me updated. I would recommend this business and team to anyone selling their property

  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.
