Report
I fully recommend Next Move Properties as a letting agent to anyone. I was a student and rented a flat through next move during the final year of my degree. The staff you’ll encounter, Nathan and Lorraine, are so kind and helpful and most importantly were very responsive and always got back to us really quickly when we raised an issue. They did not… hesitate to get contractors out on the couple of occasions they were required. We were visited a month before the end of our tenancy to advise us on what we’d need to do (i.e. areas to clean) to make sure we got as much of our deposit

Outstanding service in finding tenants for my flat in Jesmond. I am a single property landlord, having purchased a flat when my son was at Uni. When he left, I was finding tenants myself, with help from another agent. This was sometimes a hit and miss operation. How glad I was to find Next Move Properties about 9 years ago. Since using their tenant find service, there have been no issues with maintaining occupancy over this period. Their standard of service is excellent, they are efficient and very friendly. I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Nathan and Lorraine to any

My flat came upon Next Move by chance after looking with a lot of other agencies in Newcastle, that had a reputation of scamming students with cleaning bills etc. After being with Next Move for my second year I can't imagine there is a better letting agency in Newcastle. Nathan and Lorraine are lovely people, with a lovely dog, who were very attentive, friendly, and reliable throughout my entire year. From the start, Next move made it clear they were on our side and wanted us to be happy in our accommodation. Before we moved in, Next Move made sure that we had good quality sofas, the oven was

Nathan and Lorraine at Next Move are absolutely brilliant. If there was anything wrong with the property e.g. once my curtains fells down, Nathan was round that day to fix them. They are so responsive and are there for whatever you need. We received our full deposit back the day after we had left with no trouble which is something that i know other students have had to battle for. Could not recommend them enough!

Couldn't fault Next Move at all. Everything was a smooth process from start to finish. We've had bad experiences with letting agents in Newcastle in the past, so couldn't have been happier to find an agent that was responsive, friendly and professional the whole way through. It always felt like our experience as tenants was their priority, which can't be said for some agencies! Any problems with the property, electric, heating etc and Nathan was on hand straight away to help, and if he couldn't help it was always a quick and easy process getting someone out. There was never any issues getting

Would whole heartedly recomend Next Move to anyone looking to experience what property managers/landlords should be like. In 6 years renting in Newcastle (6 different landlords), the team at Next Move have by far been the best landlords/property managers I have had the pleasure of dealing with. Nathan & Lorraine were outstanding from day one, right up until move out. Nathan was an extremely friendly, easy going and down to earth point of contact during our tenancy. Ensuring any issues raised were rectified immediately, by coming out within hours to assess and arranging for work to be carried out

I recommend Next Move properties to anyone I know who is looking for housing in Newcastle. Nathan and Lorraine have been fantastic for the past 2 years we've been with them. Any issue gets sorted ASAP (sometimes the same day!) and they genuinely care that you are a happy tenant which is a rare find these days. Their service is completely honest,… with no hidden catches. Nathan even advised us when he didn't think a property of theirs was worth going for, which shows they do care. Don't go with any of the big letting agents in Newcastle, I've heard bad things about pretty much all of them
