Landlords
Letting a Property
Whether you own a single buy-to-let property or a large investment portfolio, choosing the right letting agent is essential to protecting your investment and maximising its potential. At Hackett Property, we have been helping landlords across Sunderland and the North East from our city centre office since 2005. Our experienced management team specialises in residential lettings, student accommodation, family homes, professional tenancies, corporate lets, and Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs). We understand that every landlord’s circumstances are different, which is why we offer flexible services ranging from tenant find through to fully managed solutions, all tailored to your individual requirements and designed to deliver genuine value for money.
Peace of mind
Many of our landlords have trusted us for years, with some having remained clients since the day we opened our doors. We believe this loyalty comes from our proactive approach, honest advice, and commitment to treating every property under our care with the same attention, diligence, and respect that we would expect for our own homes. Our reputation has been built on exceptional service, strong compliance standards, and responsive property management, supported by a network of long-standing, trusted local contractors who share our high standards. Combined with excellent relationships with local authorities, universities, and industry partners, we work hard to protect our landlords’ investments, minimise void periods, control maintenance costs, and provide complete peace of mind.

Complete Management Service
Our Complete Management Service is the preferred choice for landlords seeking a professional, hands-off approach to property ownership. From marketing your property and sourcing quality tenants to managing compliance, maintenance, inspections, rent administration, and tenant relations, our experienced team oversees every aspect of the tenancy on your behalf. Supported by our dedicated property management and compliance departments, long-standing local contractors, and extensive knowledge of an ever-changing regulatory environment, we work proactively to protect your investment and maintain high standards throughout the tenancy. This comprehensive service provides landlords with confidence, peace of mind, and the reassurance that their property is being professionally managed by one of Sunderland’s most established and trusted property specialists.
Tenant Find Only
Our Tenant Find Only Service is designed for landlords who wish to manage their property independently but would like assistance in sourcing and securing suitable tenants. We will market your property, conduct viewings, complete referencing and affordability checks, prepare tenancy documentation, and arrange the move-in process. Once the tenancy has commenced, responsibility for the ongoing management of the property, maintenance, compliance obligations, rent collection, inspections, and tenant communication remains with the landlord.
Protecting your investment
At Hackett Property, protecting our landlords’ investments has always been at the heart of what we do. The private rented sector continues to evolve, with increasing legislation and regulatory requirements placing greater responsibilities on landlords than ever before. In response to these changes, including the introduction of the Renters’ Rights Act and wider sector reforms, we have further strengthened our commitment to compliance through the development of a dedicated Compliance Department focused on helping landlords navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
Our experienced team works proactively to ensure properties meet the latest legal and safety requirements, from certification and licensing through to property standards, tenancy management, and regulatory compliance. Working closely with local authorities, trusted contractors, and industry partners, we help landlords minimise risk, protect their investments, and provide safe, well-managed homes for their tenants. With Hackett Property, you can be confident that compliance is not simply a box-ticking exercise—it is an integral part of the professional service we provide every day.
