GoogleThe staff at Hackett are really friendly and have always been trying to be accommodating to me to the best of their abilities which is very well appreciated. Special shout out to Abbey as she is an amazing person ! She’s very helpful, understanding and she truly wants what’s best for you, and wants you to be comfortable in your future home. She’s always responded to my questions even when they were not the brightest in a kind and timely manner.
I would highly recommend renting from Hackett, or buying/selling. A great team, especially when you call instead of email them haha.

GoogleWe’ve had such a great experience with Hackett Property Management! They’ve given us wonderful memories and always ensured everything was well managed. The team was quick to respond to any queries or repairs, even when we had a recurring issue with our apartment, they were constantly following up and pushing for contractors to get it sorted as quickly as possible.
A big thank you to Sarah, Nikki, Haley, and Sophie for all your help and support, and to the entire Hackett team for your professionalism and dedication.
Joshua and Mary truly appreciate everything you’ve done! Thank You with all our Love ❤️

GoogleWe had an excellent experience working with Abby from Hackett Property. From the beginning, she was professional, approachable, and genuinely committed to helping us find a property that met our needs. What truly stood out was her proactive approach, during one of our scheduled viewings, Abby went out of her way to show us an additional property that we hadn't initially booked to see.
She had taken the time to consider our preferences and budget, and she felt this particular property, located on the Quayside of the River Wear, might be a suitable fit. It turned out to be exactly what we were looking for, and we truly appreciated her initiative and insight.
Abby’s attentiveness, responsiveness, and in-depth knowledge of the market made the entire process much smoother than we expected. She is undoubtedly a valuable asset to Hackett Property, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for professional and thoughtful real estate guidance.

GoogleHas been a great place to live. The rooms are nice, in good working-order, and clean upon moving in. The best part about Cassaton is Andrea, absolute gem of a person. She’s always there to help if there’s a problem or even if you just want to have a chat. Such a lovely and friendly person who will go out of her way to help. Loved my time at Cassaton House.

GoogleI viewed a property with Hackett Property today, initially a slight mishap but Brendan went out of his way to sort it out and the viewing was brilliant. That kind of attitude can only bode well for vendors looking to sell their homes/investments. If I move forward with the purchase then I’ll be certainly considering using Hackett to manage it.

GoogleWe drove 18 miles to view a property, only to be told at their office that it was no longer available. They never called, texted, or emailed to let us know, yet claimed they never cancel without contacting clients. The staff were unprofessional and took several minutes to even acknowledge us. They clearly did not care about our time or effort. I would not recommend using this agency. My single review may not make a big difference, but I hope it helps someone.

GoogleThis should be your #1 rent plug if you’re living/intend to live in Sunderland. I was able to secure my accommodation hassle from and from abroad without any problems. At the start of my process of securing my accommodation, Gill whom was the property manager then was very welcoming, approachable and always kept me in the loop. The team is very friendly and always listens or directs you to the pertinent member of staff to attain help or resolution. Nikki Smith who then became the property manager after I moved in and settled down was so helpful to me throughout my journey in my flat. I had an issue, reported it to her, she promised to do her best to help in resolving and she kept her word. Hackett Property has a truly great team and should be #1 agent to contact for accommodations in Sunderland whether you’re a foreigner or local.
