Letting agents in Tunstall
Tunstall is the northernmost of the six towns: a self-contained market town with its own high street, park and identity. Five Towns Lettings manages homes in Tunstall and the north of the city, and we let most of them to local families who want to stay in the area for the long term.
Lettings and property management in Tunstall
Tenants in Tunstall tend to stay longer than in the city centre, so the focus is on finding the right tenant first time and keeping the home in good order.
- Full management for 12% of the monthly rent including VAT (10% + VAT), plus a one-off £180 set-up fee (£150 + VAT) for a new property: tenants found and referenced, tenancy agreement, deposit protected with the DPS, inventory, check-in and check-out, two inspections a year, repairs within a limit you set, and an out-of-hours emergency line
- Rent paid to you with a statement around five working days after the tenant pays
- Let only for £420 including VAT (£350 + VAT), if you'd rather manage the tenancy yourself
The Tunstall rental market
Tunstall's housing mixes Victorian terraces around the town centre and Tower Square with interwar and post-war semis in Pittshill, Chell, Goldenhill and Sandyford, and newer homes towards Packmoor and Newchapel.
Who rents here:
- Local families who want more space for their money than they would get in Hanley
- First-time renters looking for an affordable terrace
- People working at the growing employment sites to the north, including Chatterley Valley, and commuters heading towards Kidsgrove and south Cheshire
Advice for Tunstall landlords
- Long tenancies are the norm. Family tenants who settle can stay for years. Responsive repairs and fair rent reviews keep them there, which matters more for your income than chasing the highest possible rent.
- Check demand street by street. Prices are among the lowest in the city, which flatters gross yield calculations. We will tell you honestly how a particular street lets before you commit.
- Gardens and parking let well. In Tunstall, a semi with a drive and a garden often attracts more interest than an extra bedroom.
Living in Tunstall
Tunstall Park, with its lake and Victorian layout, is one of the town's biggest draws for families. The clock tower in Tower Square marks the heart of the high street, and the Victorian Tunstall Library and Baths buildings are being restored. The A527 runs through the town and the A500 is close by. Kidsgrove railway station, with direct trains to Manchester and Crewe, is a short drive north, and buses run regularly to Burslem and Hanley.
