What Landlords Say About Us
4.6/5 rating from 150+ verified Google reviews
Don't just take our word for it - hear directly from landlords who've made the switch
"I am a landlord with roughly 80 properties in the North East. I was recommended Rent North East and have since been using them for around 6 months. The service from Jack is always very good and proactive and I have found them much more worthwhile than other agents I have used over the years. I hope to continue this great working relationship for many years to come."

Transparent pricing, honest advice, and superior tenant quality
We've helped hundreds of landlords save thousands while getting better quality tenants
Transparent Maintenance Pricing
We charge 10% + VAT on maintenance (clearly disclosed on statements). Many agents charge 15-20%+ undisclosed markup, or do work "in-house" at significant profit. We find the best prices for you, not the highest profit for us.
Superior Tenant Quality
Yes, our tenant find fee is higher (1 month + VAT vs 0.5 month). But our comprehensive in-house vetting gets you better tenants - meaning reliable rent payments, longer tenancies, and better property care. One bad tenant costs £2,000-5,000+.
Best In-House Tenant Vetting
Land registry checks on previous landlords, 3 credit agency checks (not just 1), direct employer verification, and recorded Right to Rent checks. We weed out problem tenants before they become your problem.
Honest Advice That Saves Money
We don't profit from maintenance work, so we won't push unnecessary repairs. When you ask if something needs replacing, we'll give you an honest answer based on what's actually needed - not what makes us the most money.

Calculate Your Rental Returns
See how much you could save with Rent North East
Use our calculator below to compare your current situation with what you'd get from RNE. Most landlords are surprised by how much they're losing to hidden fees and poor tenant quality.
Your First Year Profit: RNE vs Typical Agent
The Real Value: Better Quality Tenants
Yes, our tenant find fee is higher (1 month + VAT vs 0.5 month + VAT with others).
But here's what you actually get:
- ✓Comprehensive in-house vetting - Land registry checks, 3 credit agencies, direct employer verification
- ✓Better quality tenants - Our thorough process weeds out problem tenants
- ✓More reliable rent payments - Quality tenants pay on time, every time
- ✓Longer tenancies - Less void periods = more income
- ✓Better property care - Quality tenants look after your investment
The math: One bad tenant costing you 2 months rent arrears + legal fees + damages = £2,000-5,000 loss. Our higher find fee pays for itself many times over by getting you reliable tenants.
Your Investment Returns
We save you money through transparency (10% + VAT disclosed maintenance vs 20%+ hidden), £0 setup fees, and 50% off 6 months. But the real value? Better tenants = reliable rent + longer tenancies + better property care. That's worth thousands more than any fee difference.
