Our Lettings Services at a Glance

Posted on May 5, 2016

Generation rent’ is a term thrown around in the press in relation to the lettings market, and as market conditions improve, properties for sale and to let are becoming few and far between, which can make finding a fitting property for those who cannot afford or simply aren’t ready to buy particularly difficult.

According to new research, to date the private rented sector has more than doubled since 2001 and renting is now the norm for many, especially for younger generations with the student market a very profitable area for private landlords. With recent news that Newcastle – along with Edinburgh, Bristol and Brighton – has seen the highest increase in average monthly rents in the country, increasing at a faster rate than London’s, finding a rented property now means getting expert help, and that’s where our letting agents in Sunderland can assist!

Our lettings service

Here at Hackett, we don’t just specialise in sales, our lettings services are all-encompassing, and we have helped thousands throughout Sunderland and the surrounding areas. Tenants can benefit from an impartial service that is designed to be as personal as possible so their needs are fully catered for. Whether you wish to use our online lettings search feature to find a property or visit us in person, we have a plethora of great properties to choose from, including city centre pads, detached and semi-detached homes, terraced houses and bungalows. Thanks to our mobile site, our search function is also very easy to use on the go so you can continue looking wherever you may be.

We help landlords achieve their goals too and operate a fully managed service so they don’t have to worry about a thing, which is perfect if you are a buy-to-let landlord using their property profits as a second income. Our tenant find only service is also great for full time landlords that want to take the hassle out of keeping their rental occupied.
