Brannen and Partners are a local family run business which has been established at the Coast for over 20 years. The Brannen family has been synonymous with property on the Coast since the early 1900s - older generations of the family were prolific homebuilders in the area including on the Broadway, Linskill Terrac
e and Hawkeys Lane. There is also a ‘Brannen Street’ in North Shields, acting as a reminder of how the Brannen family has shaped the Coast brick by brick. Today we rent and sell rather than build houses from our Whitley Bay and Tynemouth offices. We will provide bespoke marketing packages to clients looking to sell including A3 window cards and property particulars, floor plans, a professional photographer to take pictures of your home as well as advertising on property websites and within the News Guardian. We also have our own Facebook and Twitter pages! With good old fashioned hard work and customer service combined with the latest in technology, we provide our clients with a first class service which we believe is the best on offer at the Coast. Whether you are looking to buy, sell or rent, with our first class knowledge of the local north east market you can trust us to provide clear, sensible advice and guidance. For more information please call 0191 2578484.

I have had the frustration of dealing with Brannen & Partners as the "management company" for five years now as they manage the building I live in. During this time I have experienced repeatedly most of the issues the other one star reviewers have left. The communication and customer service from the company is truly terrible, regardless of what you need, a meter reading or a fix to a problem, expect at best a long delayed response which will contain an excuse before possibly getting an answer. Most responses you do get avoid acknowledgement of any main points you query or raise. When the building flooded previously, resulting in my property being flooded, it took months for Brannen to admit responsibility and look to resolve; countless emails from myself went unanswered for up to weeks at a time before I’d get any response. Eventually my damp and damaged property got sorted out. If you are happy to be a tenant of a company that truly don’t care about you and you can handle great levels of frustration, sign up now. Or, if you want good service, or even just average service, look for a different agent.
