Established in 1988, AJ Properties is an independent, family-run residential lettings and property management specialist based in Rochdale and managing properties across Greater Manchester.

For over 35 years, landlords have trusted us to look after their properties, their tenancies and everything that comes with them.

More than finding a tenant

Finding the right tenant is only the beginning.

We carefully match tenants to suitable properties, carry out comprehensive referencing and ensure every tenancy is set up correctly from the outset. But our service doesn't end when the tenancy agreement is signed.

From rent collection and property inspections to maintenance, compliance, rent reviews and tenancy issues, our experienced team manages every detail throughout the life of the tenancy.

Your property in experienced hands

Residential lettings has become an increasingly complex and highly regulated area. Our role is to make property ownership simpler for our landlords while ensuring their investments remain professionally managed and compliant.

Our long-standing team brings extensive experience across all aspects of tenancy and property management, including tenant selection and referencing, legal documentation, rent arrears, rent reviews, property inspections, inventories and schedules of condition, repairs, maintenance and ongoing compliance.

We combine that experience with modern technology to market properties effectively, secure the best possible rent and manage tenancies efficiently — without losing the personal contact that has always been at the heart of AJ Properties.

Professional standards. Complete peace of mind.

AJ Properties is a member of recognised industry and consumer protection schemes, including:

The Property Ombudsman (TPO)
The Deposit Protection Service (DPS)
Client Money Protection

These memberships provide landlords and tenants with additional reassurance that we operate to recognised professional standards and that client money is appropriately protected.

When you entrust your property to AJ Properties, you're not simply appointing a letting agent. You're choosing an experienced team to protect your property, manage your tenancy and look after your investment.

Our Story

Nearly 30 years ago, I recognised a gap in the market.

At the time, most landlords had little choice other than to use estate agents who offered lettings and property management as an additional service. I believed landlords deserved something different - a company dedicated entirely to residential lettings and property management.

Property investment from across Rochdale and Greater Manchester was growing, and I could see that investors needed more than someone to collect rent. They needed specialist advice, professional management and a trusted partner who understood that property investment is a long-term commitment, not a quick return. That belief became AJ Properties.

Whilst the legislation, responsibilities and expectations placed upon landlords have changed drastically over the years, the reason we exist hasn't. Today, our purpose remains exactly the same as it was when I founded the business.

To help responsible landlords protect their investments through professional management, expert guidance and genuinely personal service.

Looking Forward

AJ Properties has never stood still. As the responsibilities placed upon landlords continue to evolve, so do we.

We've invested in our people, strengthened our systems and continually developed our services to ensure clients remain protected and in an ever-changing property landscape.

Our commitment, however, remains exactly as it was nearly three decades ago.

To provide specialist Tenancy Management, honest advice and a level of care that gives landlords complete confidence that their investment is in safe hands.

We look forward to continuing that journey with our existing clients and welcoming those who share our belief that doing things properly still matters.
