Newcastle, are you currently charging £693 for a 2-bed?

Across our own managed portfolio, two-beds are averaging exactly that right now - real, achieved rents, not estimates. You might be undercharging.

📍 Real rents, by bedroom count

These are genuinely large samples across the city - from Fenham and Heaton to Walker and beyond.

📈 Real rent increases we've just pushed through

Here are five examples from the fifteen rent reviews we've completed for Newcastle landlords since August, averaging a 5.1% increase overall - real increases, already agreed:

Average across 15 completed reviews since August: +5.1%, ranging 0.7% to 10.0%.

Worth noting: all of these went through under the Renters' Rights Act, which came into force on 1st May. Rent review clauses no longer work, and Section 13 - a formal notice, Form 4A, with two months' notice - is now the only legal route to a rent increase. The process has changed, but as these reviews show, it hasn't stopped landlords from getting a fair increase when the numbers justify it.

📊 The citywide numbers

Newcastle's average house price is up 6.7% this year, and rent has grown even faster, up 9.8%.

Here's how that breaks down by property type:
