Sell your house or Tyneside flat in Newcastle.
Newcastle has a housing type found almost nowhere else: the Tyneside flat. These are pairs of flats built to look like a single terraced house, one upstairs and one down. Alongside them are Victorian terraces, student streets in Jesmond and Heaton, and large post-war estates. We buy them all.
Selling a property in Newcastle
Tyneside flats are usually owned on long leases, often with each flat owning the freehold of the other or a similar cross-arrangement. The paperwork can confuse buyers and lenders who aren’t used to it, and occasionally uncovers leases that are shorter than expected.
Jesmond, Heaton and Sandyford have large student-letting markets. Areas such as Benwell, Elswick, Walker and Byker have terraced housing that has often been let or has stood empty. Like much of the North East, the area also has a coal-mining history that appears in searches.

Selling in England
In England, a sale isn’t legally binding until exchange of contracts, so an open-market buyer can still pull out, gazump or gazunder right up to that point. Landlords should also note that, since 1 May 2026, the Renters’ Rights Act has changed how possession works. Selling with tenants in place avoids the process entirely. See landlord exit.

Common questions from Newcastle sellers
Will you buy a Tyneside flat?
Yes. We understand the tenure arrangements and can work with them, including where the lease is shorter than you expected.
Do you cover Gateshead and North Tyneside?
Yes. We cover Tyneside, not just Newcastle itself.
Do you have an office in Newcastle?
No, and we won’t pretend to. We’re not a high-street estate agent. We work with sellers across England & Wales by phone and online, and visit the property in person when we need to. Depending on the property, we either buy directly or, with your permission first, introduce you to a vetted partner better placed to help.
How much will you offer for my Newcastle property?
For a direct cash purchase, offers are typically around 75–85% of realistic open-market value, based on recent comparable sales on your street, not a city-wide average. Every offer is in writing, with the evidence behind it, and there’s no obligation to accept.
