Selling property in Gateshead

- Draft contracts – Your conveyancing solicitor drafts the initial legal contract to be sent to the buyer's solicitor.
- Responding to enquiries – your solicitor responds to any questions the buyer's solicitor may have (this is where you'll find out if you are missing documents, which can cause delays to your sale).
- Investigating issues – your solicitor may need to complete further investigation to try and satisfy them.
- Exchange contracts – once the buyer's solicitor has satisfied their enquiries, contracts are finalised and exchanged
- On the day of completion – your solicitor receives the money for the sale, discharges the mortgage (if required), pays the estate agent, deducts their fee and then sends the net sale proceeds to you.

Tyne and Wear is a metropolitan county which came into existence in 1974. It is made up of 5 metropolitan boroughs: South Tyneside, North Tyneside, the City of Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and the City of Sunderland. Adjacent counties include Northumberland and County Durham. Prior to 1974, the county's area straddled the River Tyne, with the north side in Northumberland and the south side in Durham.
The most populated area in the county is the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, which used to be synonymous with shipbuilding. Among many places of interest in the county are Antony Gormley's famous 'Angel of the North' statue and the Beamish Museum (both in Gateshead), Hadrian's Wall, Jesmond Dene Park, The Biscuit Factory and the Laing Art Gallery (all in Newcastle), Segedunum Roman Fort & Museum, Wallsend and St Mary's Island bird reserve (all in North Tyneside) and the Museum and Winter Gardens in Sunderland.
There are 2 motorways in the county, the A1(M) and A194(M) and numerous trunk roads. The main transport hub is Newcastle, which offers fast, direct railway services to London King's Cross (duration around 3 hours) and many other major conurbations.
Coal was discovered in the area in 1234 and Newcastle became the first coal port in the world. The Gateshead Millennium Bridge in Gateshead is the first rotating bridge ever built in the world. Italian Revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi lived in Tyneside for a few months on his way to foment the Italian irredentist movement. He lived in Tynemouth and Blaydon, and the garibaldi biscuit was invented by local bakers to commemorate his stay!

Can you sell your property privately or using the internet?
You can sell your property in any way you choose but we advise you always to check the various costs involved and carefully to compare prices and what service you can expect for your money.
You should note that a traditional estate agent may expect you to pay a fee even if they don't manage to sell your property. It's always worth carefully inspecting the terms of your agreement before you go ahead and in particular you should note whether you have to give a notice period before terminating your agreement.
