A Family Business Built on North East Values
Our mission
After years of working for both large corporate and small independent estate agents across the North East, we, Kevin, Shabnum, Catherine, and Jessica saw a clear need for change. We felt clients were paying thousands in commission for a service that was often impersonal and outdated. We knew there had to be a better way.
Our vision
Aycliffe Homes was founded on a simple promise: to provide a five-star, professional estate agency service for a fair, fixed fee. We combine our deep local knowledge with the latest marketing tools to get the best results for our clients, all while treating them with the honesty and integrity they deserve.

EXCELLENT Based on 31 reviews Posted on Google Lisa RidehalghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aycliffe Homes were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. My point of contact was Kevin who was very professional throughout. Nothing was too much trouble and regularly went over and above what I expected, recommend any time.Posted on Google Sjt 14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aycliffe homes were absolutely fab when I was involved with using them to purchase my first home. I had issues with the solicitors and aycliffe homes really supported with chasing things up and communicating updates throughout the process. I would highly recommend using them! They were really friendly, professional, efficient and supportive :-)Posted on Google Scott ThorburnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shabnum is a rarity in this industry, my experience of agents in the past has been poor. Shabnum changed that, she is professional, diligent, proactive and responds quickly. All that and just a lovely person that genuinely cares for her clients, often responding outside of core hours where other agents are signed off. She sticks to her word, I never had to chase her once. I would definitely recommend selling with her. Thank you Shabnum you're awesome ❤️Posted on Google Khatia TurTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A lovely team to work with towards buying our new house, I couldn't thank Shabnum enough for going above and beyond when we needed her support, definitely suggesting their agency, they are lovely polite and communicative.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your property journey questions, answered by your local North East experts.
What's the first step to selling my home with Aycliffe Homes?
The very first step is to book a free, no-obligation valuation. One of our local experts will provide an accurate market appraisal and explain our transparent, fixed-fee selling process so you know exactly what to expect. There's no pressure and no commission!
How long does the selling process typically take?
While every sale is unique, the average time from listing to completion in the UK is around 3-4 months. We expedite this by using professional marketing, proactive communication, and efficient sales progression to ensure a smooth and timely process for you.
Why choose a fixed-fee agent over a commission-based one?
Transparency and savings! With a fixed fee, you know the exact cost upfront, regardless of the final sale price. This often saves our clients thousands of pounds compared to traditional percentage-based commissions, without compromising on service or marketing quality.
Do you offer services for landlords?
Absolutely. We offer a complete property service for landlords, including tenant-find only, full property management, and rigorous tenant referencing. Our goal is to make your property investment as passive and profitable as possible.
How do you help buyers find the right property?
By registering your search with us, we get a deep understanding of your needs. We'll then proactively notify you of new properties, often before they hit the major portals like Rightmove, giving you a crucial head start in your search.
What documents do I need to rent a property?
Typically, you will need proof of identity (like a passport or driving licence), proof of address (utility bill), proof of income (payslips or bank statements), and a reference from a previous landlord or employer. We guide you through every step of the application process.
What areas in the North East do you cover?
While we're based in Newton Aycliffe, our expertise covers the wider North East, including County Durham, Darlington, Teesside, and surrounding areas. Our deep-rooted local knowledge is one of our greatest assets for all our clients.
Are there any hidden fees or commission charges?
No. We pride ourselves on integrity. All our fees are available on our website and we NEVER charge commission. Our fixed-fee approach means you know the full cost upfront, with no surprises when your sale completes.
