Sunderland, are you undercharging for a 3-bed?

At NGU Homes, 3-beds are averaging £696 a month right now - real, achieved rents, not estimates. If yours is lower, you might be undercharging.

📍 Real rents, by bedroom count

Our Sunderland tenancies run from Hendon, Millfield and Ashbrooke to Washington and Hetton-le-Hole.

📈 Real rent increases we’ve just pushed through

Here are five examples from the twenty-two rent reviews we’ve completed for Sunderland landlords since August, averaging a 6.0% increase overall - real increases, already agreed:

Increases across all 22 reviews ranged from 1.3% to 11.1%. The 6.0% average is running ahead of the citywide rent growth figure of 4.6% below.

📍 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: 63% of our current Sunderland tenancies have already run for two years or more, and the average so far is over four years.

📊 The citywide numbers

Sunderland’s average house price is up 4.8% this year, and rent has grown 4.6%.
