# Your Move Houghton-le-Spring Hello, I’m Rachel, the Branch Manager at Your Move Chris Stonock Houghton-le-Spring. I have worked in estate agency for over 10 years, and I can honestly say I love my job. Everyone has different reasons for moving and for me, it’s always about the people behind the property. I enjoy meeting new customers and helping them on their way, making sure everyone receives understanding and support. I live in Houghton-le-Spring and have children who go to school here. My familiarity with the area is second to none and this allows me to offer guidance and insight which really helps our customers. We have a fabulous, close-knit team here in Houghton and we operate like a family. David, Rachael and I have worked together for many years and Leighanne joined us in 2021. Each day is different, and we always get through the ups and downs together with enthusiasm and a smile. ## Branch details - Address: 2-3 Imperial Buildings, Houghton-le-Spring, DH4 4DJ - Telephone: 0191 584 4159 - Branch type: Sales and lettings ## Opening times - Mon - Fri: 09:00 - 17:00 - Saturday: 09:00 - 13:00 - Sunday: Closed ## Explore this branch - [About us](https://www.your-move.co.uk/estate-agent/houghton-le-spring) - [Property for sale](https://www.your-move.co.uk/estate-agent/houghton-le-spring/find-property-for-sale) - [Property for rent](https://www.your-move.co.uk/estate-agent/houghton-le-spring/find-property-for-rent) - [Contact Us](https://www.your-move.co.uk/estate-agent/houghton-le-spring/contact-us) - [Our fees](https://www.your-move.co.uk/estate-agent/houghton-le-spring/fees) - [Reviews](https://www.your-move.co.uk/estate-agent/houghton-le-spring/reviews) - [Landlord services](https://www.your-move.co.uk/estate-agent/houghton-le-spring/lettings-services) - [Local area guide](https://www.your-move.co.uk/estate-agent/houghton-le-spring/local-area-guide) ## Your Move Houghton-le-Spring are award winners [ ![Your Move is a Best Estate Agent Guide Award Winner for Sales in 2026.](https://www.your-move.co.uk/uploads/award/12_13.jpg?v=56691) **Winner Sales**Best Estate Agent Guide 2026 ](https://www.your-move.co.uk/blog/winners-best-estate-agent-guide-sales-2026) ![Your Move is a Best Estate Agent Guide Award Winner for Sales in 2025](https://www.your-move.co.uk/uploads/award/12_1.jpg?v=39349) **Excellent Sales**Best Estate Agent Guide 2025 ![Your Move is a Best Estate Agent Guide Award Winner for Lettings in 2024](https://www.your-move.co.uk/uploads/award/12_4.jpg?v=39801) **Excellent Lettings**Best Estate Agent Guide 2024 ![Curious about how much your home is worth?](https://www.your-move.co.uk/uploads/asset_image/2_5472.png?v=57674) ## Curious about how much your home is worth?

It was once an active coal-mining town and consequently maintains a very strong sense of community. These days, it’s a convenient home for commuters and its affordability, new housing estates and good road connections have made it a favourite among first-time buyers and young families.
