Property Management for Landlords in Stanley and Consett
Over 100 landlords across County Durham trust Sylvester Properties to look after their rental properties. Some have been with us since the very beginning. Others came to us after a less-than-great experience elsewhere. What they all have in common is that they want an agent who actually takes care of their investment, not just one who fills the void and moves on.
Our lettings team is led by Heather, whose attention to detail and dedication to both landlords and tenants is genuinely exceptional. Whether you have one property or a growing portfolio, we will look after it as if it were our own.
How We Can Help You
Fully Managed Service
Our most popular option. We take care of everything from finding and referencing your tenant to managing the day-to-day running of the property. You receive a monthly payment, regular inspection reports and complete peace of mind. A one-off tenant find fee applies when a new tenancy begins, after which our monthly management fee is a percentage of the rent collected.
Tenant Find Only
Prefer to manage the day-to-day yourself? We will advertise your property, conduct viewings, carry out thorough referencing and put together the tenancy agreement. Once your tenant is in and everything is signed, the management is over to you.
Management Takeover
Already have a tenant in situ but not happy with your current agent? We can take over the management of your existing tenancy with minimal disruption.
