The Market
Why Gateshead works for investors.
Gateshead sits inside the North East, one of our active sourcing regions. Gateshead's Quayside sits directly across the Tyne from Newcastle, at markedly lower entry prices.
The North East offers some of the highest rental yields in the UK at some of the lowest entry prices, which makes it a cash-flow investor's region. Newcastle anchors it with two universities and a large city-centre rental market, and regeneration continues across the wider area. Affordable terraced housing in the areas around each town centre is the classic refurb-to-rent stock.
Put Gateshead in your target areas when you register and we'll match what our seller pipeline surfaces there.

How the figure is reached
Finance cost is part of the deal maths, not an afterthought. A long refurbishment on expensive money can erase the margin that made the purchase look attractive.
Gateshead
The process, step by step
Deals move at the pace of motivated sellers, which is quicker than the portals. Registered criteria are what make that speed usable.
Gateshead
Is this right for you?
It works best where the owner wants a clear line between ownership and operation. Where somebody wants to stay closely involved day to day, the arrangement tends to create friction rather than remove it.

Your Questions
What investors ask about Gateshead.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
What kind of Gateshead stock do you source?
Off-market property that needs work — tired, unmodernised, probate and motivated-seller stock — matched to a buyer's budget, target areas and appetite for works.
Do you project-manage refurbishments?
No. Maine Property Solutions is not a building contractor. We introduce you to the trades we use; the contract and the work sit between you and them.
What are the fees?
Agreed per deal in writing and payable only on completion. Nothing is due for looking.
What happens after I buy?
Your choice — sell it on, let it, or have us run it as serviced accommodation. The exit is yours to pick and we are not tied to any one of them.
