Q. I have never let my property before - please help!
We work with many new or inexperienced landlords. Our agents are always available to speak to via telephone or email. Firstly we will arrange for an agent to visit the property and provide a valuation, they will advise on all aspects of letting, from health and safety issues to advice on legal requirements. Once the agent returns they will compile all the images and descriptions to make a property marketing page which will be uploaded to the internet to begin the marketing process. Our agents will keep you fully informed at every stage of the letting process.

Q. I have decided I want you to manage my property what should I do?
Simply contact our agents on 0800 612 5228 and we will take care of everything.

Q. North East Letting manages my property but I want to take over can this be arranged?
Yes. You will need to provide the request in writing addressed to our management centre, details can be found on our contact page. Once we receive your request we will contact you to arrange the transfer.

Q. What reference check do you conduct on prospective tenants? And can I view them?
Every tenant will undergo a credit and fraud check, this also highlights any CCJ's the tenants may have, we will conduct an employer check and a previous/current landlord check, we request copy bank statements and wage slips and full photographic I.D. We can provide copies of all references carried out, however due to data protection laws to view the credit check you must visit us in person.
