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.

Professional property marketing on Rightmove and all major portals

  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 🤍
