Sell your house in Newport, without the wait.
Newport sits between Cardiff and Bristol, and since the Severn bridge tolls were scrapped it has attracted buyers from across the border. But much of the city’s Victorian terraced housing still needs work, and lettings follow Welsh law. That’s where a direct sale can help.
Selling a property in Newport
Terraced streets in Maindee, Pill, Stow Hill and Baneswell date from the city’s Victorian port and steel boom, and many are let or in need of modernisation. There are post-war estates such as Bettws and Ringland, and newer homes on the edges of the city.
Because Newport is in Wales, landlords must be registered with Rent Smart Wales, tenancies are occupation contracts, and buyers pay Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty. Rules that work in Bristol, fifteen miles away, don’t necessarily apply here.

Selling in Wales
Newport follows Welsh law in areas where Wales differs from England. Tenancies are “occupation contracts” under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, and landlords must be registered with Rent Smart Wales. Buyers pay Land Transaction Tax to the Welsh Revenue Authority rather than Stamp Duty. The sale process itself, from offer to exchange of contracts to completion, works the same way as in England.

Common questions from Newport sellers
I live in Bristol but own a rental in Newport — which rules apply?
Welsh rules, because the property is in Wales. That means the Renting Homes (Wales) Act, Rent Smart Wales registration and Land Transaction Tax for the buyer.
Do you cover Caerleon and Rogerstone?
Yes. We cover Newport and the surrounding area.
Do you have an office in Newport?
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 Newport 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.
