About Rent North East
Honest, transparent property management for landlords across the North East of England.
Rent North East is an award-winning letting agent and property management company based in Gateshead, serving landlords and property investors across the North East of England — including Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, Washington, South Shields, Low Fell, Bensham, Whickham, Jesmond, Wallsend, and Chester-le-Street.
Our Mission
We were founded on a simple belief: landlords deserve honest, transparent property management with no hidden fees and no undisclosed commissions. Unlike many letting agents in the region, we clearly disclose every charge on your monthly statements — including our 10% + VAT maintenance coordination fee — so you always know exactly where your money is going.
Hands-Off, Stress-Free Management
Our service is built for landlords who want a hands-off, stress-free experience. Whether you own one rental property in Gateshead or a large portfolio spread across the North East, we provide the same high standard of care, communication, and diligence. We also specialise in supporting remote landlords — managing properties for clients living in over 15 countries including the USA, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Dubai, and across Europe.
Superior Tenant Vetting
What truly sets us apart is our in-house tenant vetting process. We go far beyond basic credit checks: we perform land registry verification of previous landlords, check with three separate credit reference agencies, conduct direct employer verification (not just payslip review), and carry out full Right to Rent checks. This rigorous approach ensures you get quality tenants who pay on time, look after your property, and stay longer — saving you thousands in voids, legal costs, and damage repairs.
Trusted by Property Investors
We are the trusted property management partner for property investors and those referred by their financial advisers across the North East. Our transparent pricing, investor-focused approach, and consistent track record of maximising rental returns while minimising hidden costs makes us the natural choice for serious landlords.
Fully Regulated & Accredited
We let and manage residential homes with in-house applicant assessments, clear published fees and practical updates. Our written proposal confirms the service and charges for your property.
Honest Advice
Maintenance overseeing is 11% plus VAT, separate from the contractor cost. We provide original contractor quotes and invoices and follow the authority agreed with you.
