Outstanding Service

Outstanding Service, Castle Homes Delivers Excellent Landlord services As a landlord who's portfolio has been managed by Castle Homes for the past 6 years, We had an exceptional experience with Castle Homes from start to finish. Their team combines professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care throughout the entire process. Communication was consistent and timely, and any queries we had were always answered with clarity and patience. What truly stood out was their personal touch. Castle Homes doesn’t treat clients like numbers. I can especially recommend Craig and Suzanne If you’re looking for a trustworthy agent that combines quality, reliability, and a warm, professional approach, Castle Homes is an excellent choice.

Brian really helped me with everything

Brian really helped me with everything. I was a first time buyer and didn’t know how things worked. Brian did everything and had taken the stress away to help complete the process. Thank you Brian and will highly recommend you to anyone

They kept me informed about prospective tenants, provided regular updates on property showings, and promptly addressed any concerns or questions I had. Their proactive approach and transparency in handling all matters related to property management were truly commendable. Their ability to handle the day-to-day operations of my property with efficiency and professionalism has made the entire experience seamless.

Reliable, honest, and proactive - a standout letting agency

I've been a landlord for over 12 years and have worked with six different letting agents during that time. For the past four years, I’ve used Castle Homes - and I won’t be switching anytime soon. They manage everything for me: finding reliable tenants quickly, keeping me informed without bombarding me with unnecessary updates (usually via WhatsApp), and managing the property as if it were their own. All the basics are done well - but what sets them apart is how proactive they are. Regular inspections are carried out, small maintenance issues are flagged and resolved before they escalate, and they always look for practical, cost-effective solutions. The honesty and communication are what really make the difference. They consistently source multiple quotes and keep me updated at every step - something that’s rare in this industry. That trust has helped build a long-standing, genuinely valuable working relationship. If you’re a landlord looking for an agency that genuinely cares, is responsive, and puts your interests first, I highly recommend Castle Homes.

Reliable, Responsive, and Results-Driven

Castle Homes have been outstanding from day one. As a landlord, what I value most is peace of min and that’s exactly what they’ve delivered. They found excellent tenants quickly and dealt with all the paperwork and compliance without me having to chase a thing. What really sets them apart is their communication. I always know what’s going on with my property, and any issues are dealt with swiftly and professionally. They’re proactive rather than reactive, which is rare in this industry. It’s clear they care about landlords, not just listings. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy letting agent.

Unhelpful company

Lack of support from this company is unbelievable If you have a problem out of normal working hours then don't expect help One problem - pipe burst at tea time no water to the property and was told to go buy water from the shops 2nd problem - Potential carbon monoxide leak at the address and because they emailed me at 10.30am on a Saturday morning - when the office is closed and noone to contact, with just an email to say someone from somewhere else will be in touch at some point I've now been left with no gas to the address since midnight Friday and still no further forward with who looks after my address I don't believe for a second that they found out on a Saturday that my landlord would be moving to another company, had I been told earlier, then i would of had a contact number for out of office emergencies Reported issues with the kitchen over 2 months ago and had no contact about assistance with this neither Not had any good experiences with this company unfortunately Further information- I was "informed" of a new company taking over my property on a Saturday morning, via email, when your office isnt open for me to ask for further information, and the only "information" given for the new company was someone called charlotte would reach out- again the new company not open on a weekend No contact details for the company nor my landlord were left in case of an emergency in a period of time where your company stopped and the new company starts - to email on a Saturday morning out of your own office opening times is ridiculous and also no notice! Not even 24 hours! As for the report for the kitchen I don't report issues to the landlord I report them to you, through your website as per my contract at the time, so to close the job and not update me with a reason again your company fails with lack of support or communication, I don't get a notification that a job has a been closed I.e dismissed and I don't have contact details for the landlord I had yours! I have also never been advised of taking the issue up with my landlord or I would of asked for their details, As I also asked you for on Saturday via the email i sent and got no response but... I put a review up and got a response which is strange, I wonder if your answer to this part is because the office isn't open on a weekend, oh apart from to tell people we no longer deal with you your on your own?...

Alison · 1 June 2025

Agent replied · 10 October 2026

Hi Alison, I'm sorry you are unhappy but under the circumstances I am very disappointed you have chosen to leave us a negative review. As you have been told, we no longer manage your property, as the landlord has decided to manage it themselves You have been provided with all of the contact details they have passed on. I have checked our maintenance system for your kitchen issue. I can see that you raised the issue on 2nd April and it was closed by the landlord on 8th April. I suggest you take up both issues with your landlord, as you have already been advised. We no longer have an agency for your landlord and are unable to help you in any way. Good luck! Craig MD.

Your Friendly and highly professional…

Your Friendly and highly professional approach and been happy to negotiate plus your willingness to reach Middle ground win/ win situations is very impressive and attractive .please keep it up. Pleasant high standard communication skills But Most important at the end the day you delivered the service in good time with smile There are few issues in the contact were not clear, but I share responsibility with you as I should not had over looked them. Also there is some delay in passing on some documents to the extend I needed to ask for them while they should be sent automatically. It would be helpful not to depend on automating communication and high technical methods all the time. Thanks

Castle Homes have been our go to property experts in Darlington and Teesside for over 3 years now and never fail to excel. They manage our portfolio, organise the myriad of maintenance issues without fuss and have managed several major refurbishments for us. They also always make themselves available to offer expert advice when needed. Wouldn't have managed without them. They have been outstanding for us.
