Meet The Owner –
Vikki Marie Bond, -M.A.R.L.A . Vikki has 20+ years letting experience , Is currently the Managing Director of Rooms to Let North East.
Vikki started off Rooms to Let Sunderland in 2015 – turning tired student accommodation into house share homes for working professionals. Finding a need for rooms for professionals, workers and contractors in Sunderland.
Many contractors were coming into the city to work on building the new bridge. We housed many workers throughout the city. We also had contractors working on a big project in Nissan. Contractors making the new road / bridge on the A19 project. Social workers that had to come to Sunderland to help bring Sunderland Services up to standard. NHS staff working in the hospitals and care industry.
At the time most rooms were Student only and people really found it difficult to find a room to live.
Most contractors, professionals, workers move to the city for work, they need a first base. Somewhere to start off. Somewhere affordable, safe, secure. Until they find themselves in a permanent position. Some are here on a temporary basis only and have their own homes elsewhere. Some have found themselves starting in life again.
Whatever the circumstances. Rooms to let will help each individual find their perfect place.
In 2022 Rooms to let Sunderland became – Rooms to Let Ne , expanding into more areas of the North East.
Rooms to Let North East provide accommodation for young workers, professionals, contractors and NHS staff.
We also supply rooms to Students and Postgrads throughout the North East.

A lot of our tenants have lived with Rooms to Let for a very long time. We have room tenants that have stayed over 10 years and families that have been with us forever. We are proud to deliver the service we do.
