Renting in Durham

Durham is built on a tight loop of the Wear, with the cathedral and castle standing together on the peninsula above it — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The university and the county council are the city’s two largest employers. The list above is whatever is free today rather than a brochure.

Durham station is on the East Coast Main Line, with direct trains to Newcastle, York and London, and the A1(M) runs along the eastern edge of the city.

Because our radius covers five miles, this page also picks up homes in the surrounding area — Sacriston, Bowburn, Brandon and Langley Moor among them — rather than limiting you to addresses with “Durham” in them.

What you get renting with us

• Houses, not flats

  Everything we let is a house with a minimum of 2 bedrooms, and is privately owned.

• Rented and managed in-house

  We are not advertising other landlords’ stock — these are our own properties.

• One team throughout

  The same people handle your viewing, your application and your maintenance once you are in.

• Live availability

  Listings are removed as soon as a home is taken, so you are only searching available properties.
