📈 Real rent increases we’ve just pushed through
Here are five examples from the fifteen rent reviews we’ve completed for Stockton-on-Tees landlords since August, averaging a 5.5% increase overall - real increases, already agreed:

📍 Managed locally, wherever you are
Every rent review above was handled start to finish by our own team on the ground in the North East - the tenant conversation, the Section 13 notice, the paperwork. If you’re not local yourself, that’s the whole point: you get the return, and we handle the hassle. It’s a settled portfolio, too: 67% of our current Stockton-on-Tees tenancies have already run for two years or more, and the average so far is nearly seven years.
