About Northern Estates
Local, careful and clear. We’re an owner-operated property partner based in the North of the UK. Northern Estates exists to make property simpler and more dependable for landlords, HMO owners and investors. You’ll get straight answers, transparent pricing and a calm, practical way of working.
What we believe: good outcomes come from respectful communication, tidy compliance and attention to detail. We look after the people, the property and the paperwork — so your asset performs without the noise.
How we work
- Clarity first. We set expectations, timelines and costs up front — then keep you informed without overloading you.
- Compliance on rails. Safety certs, deposits, licensing and inspections are scheduled, logged and renewed on time.
- Proactive care. Small issues get solved before they grow. Trusted local contractors, clear quotes, tidy finishes.
- Data you can use. Statements and updates are short, timely and meaningful: what happened, what’s next, and what it costs.
Lettings & Management
Our lettings service is built for steady income and low stress. We price accurately for your micro-market, market with strong photos and host accompanied viewings. Applicants are referenced properly; deposits are protected; move-ins are documented with clear inventories.
Day-to-day, we triage maintenance, communicate early and protect your budget with sensible approvals. Safety checks and renewals are tracked so you never have to chase. The result: fewer voids, fewer surprises and homes that stay presentable.
HMO Management (our specialty)
HMOs work brilliantly when the routines are tight and the standards are clear. We set you up to licensing requirements from the start: layouts mapped to amenity standards, fire doors, alarms and signage specified correctly, and documentation prepared for smooth approvals.
We operate with calm, predictable rhythms: weekly/fortnightly cleans and logged inspections; regular alarm tests and safety checks; clear house rules and respectful communication; fast maintenance triage with reliable trades. Rooms are marketed with honest, photo-led listings and inclusive pricing. Move-ins are staggered and explained well, which sets the tone for the house. That’s how we keep properties compliant, peaceful and full — with occupancy and rent performance you can rely on.
Property Development
From appraisal to exit, we’re a practical partner. Numbers are validated with live contractor pricing and sensible contingency; programmes are disciplined; quality is checked before it becomes expensive. We specify finishes that lift rent, speed sales or reduce future maintenance — upgrades that earn their keep.
You’ll see clear cash flow, progress photos and next steps. When decisions arise, we present options with cost, time and risk so you can decide quickly and keep momentum.
Who we help
First-time landlords, portfolio owners, HMO operators and investors who want a dependable Northern partner. If you value clarity, compliance and care, we’re your people.
