Local knowledge
Things to know when moving in Middlesbrough
Buy-to-let and tenanted homes
Many terraces are bought and sold by landlords. We check tenancy agreements, deposit protection and whether any local licensing scheme for private landlords applies to the street.
Older terraces
Victorian and Edwardian terraces can have shared alleys, rear yards and alterations made without approval. We check access rights and ask for consents for past works.
Newer estates in the south
Estates around Coulby Newham, Hemlington and Nunthorpe can come with estate management charges or unadopted roads. We check what you will pay and who maintains the shared areas.
