Northumberland, are you undercharging for a 3-bed?

At NGU Homes, 3-beds are averaging £662 a month right now - real, achieved rents, not estimates. If yours is lower, you might be undercharging.

📍 Real rents, by bedroom count

Our Northumberland tenancies run from Ashington, Blyth and Bedlington to Cramlington, Morpeth and Newbiggin-by-the-Sea.

📈 Real rent increases we’ve just pushed through

Here are five examples from the sixteen rent reviews we’ve completed for Northumberland landlords since August, averaging a 6.6% increase overall - real increases, already agreed:

Increases across all 16 reviews ranged from 1.3% to 10.2%. The 6.6% average is close to the countywide rent growth figure of 6.9% below.

📍 Managed locally, wherever you are

Every rent review above was handled start to finish by our own team on the ground in the North East - the tenant conversation, the Section 13 notice, the paperwork. If you’re not local yourself, that’s the whole point: you get the return, and we handle the hassle. It’s a settled portfolio, too: 69% of our current Northumberland tenancies have already run for two years or more, and the average so far is nearly six years.

📊 The countywide numbers

Northumberland’s average house price is up 7.3% this year - the highest in the North East - and rent has grown 6.9%. These countywide figures cover every private rental in Northumberland, including towns like Hexham, Ponteland and Alnwick where we manage no properties, so they run higher than our own averages above.

Here’s how that breaks down by property type:
