As you can see above Gateshead is a very strong sales market, at the moment, up 5.3% over the last 3 months compared to a national increase of 2.3% and a regional increase of 4.6%.ย 

Weโ€™re seeing this within our agency having accepted 8 offers just last week, a record, highlighting the strong demand weโ€™re seeing.

The graph above shows the relative strength of the Gateshead market, the darker the colour the stronger the sales increase over the last 3 months.

An area weโ€™ve found to be especially strong is Felling where we recently sold a 2 bed flat on Stuart Terrace, achieving 9% over the asking price for ยฃ65,000 within just 14 days of listing.

For investors Felling and Gateshead offers a unique blend of owner/occupier and rental properties.
