Current House Prices in South Tyneside

South Tyneside remains one of the more affordable coastal property markets in the North East. Average sale prices typically sit below the regional average, with strong variation depending on location, property type and condition.

• Traditional terraced housing in areas such as Jarrow and parts of South Shields often sits at the more accessible end of the market

• Semi-detached and family homes in Boldon, Cleadon and Whitburn generally achieve higher price points

• Coastal and well-presented properties continue to attract stronger buyer interest and faster sales

In practice, correctly priced homes in good condition are still selling, while properties that are over-priced or poorly presented tend to experience longer time on market.

Our experience locally shows that accurate pricing and realistic expectations remain the biggest factors in achieving a successful sale.

Rental Market & Tenant Demand

The South Tyneside rental market continues to experience strong tenant demand, particularly for well-maintained homes in practical locations.

Typical monthly rents vary by property type and area, but broadly:

• Two-bed terraced and smaller family homes remain in high demand

• Well-located three-bed houses attract consistent interest from long-term tenants

• Demand is strongest near transport links, schools and employment routes

Supply remains limited in many parts of South Tyneside, which has helped support rental values and reduce void periods where properties are priced correctly.

From a landlord perspective, properties that are compliant, well presented and realistically priced tend to let quickly and perform consistently.

Time on Market & Buyer Behaviour

Buyer behaviour in South Tyneside remains price-sensitive. Properties that enter the market at a realistic level typically generate early interest, while those that chase the market often experience longer marketing periods and price reductions.

Homes that benefit from:

• Clear presentation

• Accurate pricing

• Good photography and marketing

…continue to outperform the wider market.

Early engagement is usually a strong indicator of whether a property has been positioned correctly from the outset.

Investor & Landlord Insight

South Tyneside continues to appeal to investors due to its combination of affordability, rental demand and long-term tenant profiles.

Many landlords focus on:

• Long-term single-let investments

• Stable yields rather than short-term speculation

• Areas with consistent demand rather than headline growth

Regulatory changes, compliance costs and mortgage rates mean investors are now far more selective — making proper due diligence and local knowledge more important than ever.

Investors who understand local demand, regulation and realistic rental performance are better placed to achieve sustainable long-term returns.
