Chartered Surveyors Across North East England

The North East includes the Tyneside flats of Newcastle and Gateshead, coastal terraced housing at North and South Shields, Whitley Bay and Sunderland, and mixed stock across County Durham and Teesside.

Tyneside flats in particular need care: shared roofs, shared drainage and split ownership of a single building mean the condition of the flat above or below yours affects you directly, and the lease rarely makes that as clear as buyers expect.

On the coast, wind-driven rain, salt exposure and worn render dominate. We set out which of these matter now, which are simply maintenance, and what to budget for over the next few years.
