Carr & Hume Estate Agents Limited

At Carr and Hume we do our utmost to cater for all your residential property requirements. Established in 1985 we have built our business around the following key services:

Buying and selling
Whether buying or selling, our Sales Department enables you to take advantage of a wealth of experience and expertise. With ‘National Federation of Property Professionals’ trained employees, you can be sure that you are receiving the best possible service when buying or selling your property.

Renting and Letting
With more and more people renting their home, and regulations constantly tightening, tenants and landlords need complete confidence in their agent. Our ‘National Federation of Property Professionals’ trained employees ensure that both tenants and landlords are given the utmost professional service.

Student Accommodation
Carr and Hume’s Directors own an impressive number of high quality student homes in close proximity to Salford University. This gives the company a unique insight into the particular requirements of students and the strict regulations governing Houses in Multiple Occupations (HMO’s). Our success has been noticed by other landlords and property investors, and as a result we now manage an increasing number properties on their behalf making us one of the leading providers of student accommodation in the Salford area.

Block Management
With over 25 years experience and an in depth knowledge of current legislation, Carr and Hume offer bespoke Block Management services specifically tailored to each individual development. Whether a large purpose built block of hundreds of apartments or a small converted building comprising a small number of apartments, we work closely with residents to ensure they receive the levels of service they require. The department is headed by Company director Nigel Craig who is always available to meet with residents at formal AGMs or on an individual basis when required

Maintenance
Carr and Hume offer a complete property maintenance service to home owners, landlords and commercial clients. Using approved contractors we can arrange for local tradesmen to attend your property, provide an estimate and carry out the required work promptly and professionally.
