The apartment leases at St Anns specifically exclude short term letting. Leaseholders allowing their properties to be used for weekend / holiday lets or as a “hotel alternative” are in breach several clauses of the lease and as such will be pursued through legal channels. All costs of this process will be charged to the leaseholders service charge account.
Note that any leaseholder who is sub letting must provide a copy of the sub letting lease to the management company.
In addition for legal and fire safety reasons we require contact details for the person(s) actually living in the apartment. Leaseholders are responsible for ensuring this requirement is met by completing our online form here
Long term letting (6 months or more) is permitted and as such we have appointed 2 approved letting agents who carefully vet potential tenants and ensure that they are fully aware of the terms of the lease etc. We strongly encourage any owner considering letting their apartment to use one of these agents.
Those 2 agents are Living Spaces and GFW.

Recognising the need for an informed letting agent, GFW Letting was established in 2013. Our aim was simple: to provide landlords and tenants with a letting service that focused on their needs.
From a small, specialist team, we’ve grown to a vibrant agency, stretching from rural North Northumberland to in and around Tyne & Wear.
With a thorough knowledge of the North East property market and a team of experts, our friendly, approachable team provides a reliable service. Working closely alongside landlords we cut out unnecessary processes that waste your time. With intuitive online systems and a proactive, open approach we help you maximise your property’s value.
In choosing to rent your property through GFW Letting under the scheme, you will be entitled to the exclusive landlord offers and reassurance that your property is in very safe hands. Under the scheme, all new tenants undergo an induction led by GFW Letting, covering off all areas of the development and ensuring they understand what is expected of them, including where to place rubbish, behaviour in communal areas and noise considerations.
GFW Letting is a member of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) who are committed to raising standards in the industry through qualified and regulated agents. As an agent, we follow ARLA’s code of practice; have professional indemnity insurance and a route to redress, should something go wrong. The lettings market is unregulated, however there are numerous pieces of legislation that need to be considered – using an informed agent is pivotal to ensuring you are compliant.
If you are thinking of letting your property out or just need some advise then please get in touch, we are available 6 days a week and are happy to visit your property, talk to you on the phone, via email or alternatively if you want come and see us we are now located in our new city centre office on Westgate Road.
Testimonial from the landlord of 7 St Anns Quay –
