Things to know when moving in South Tyneside
Tyneside flats
Tyneside flats are pairs of upstairs and downstairs flats in one terrace, usually each sold on a long lease. We check the lease, who repairs the roof and yard, and any ground rent.
Mining and the riverside
Parts of the borough were mined for coal, and riverside areas have an industrial past. We order mining and environmental searches where needed.
Coastal homes
Homes near the seafront at South Shields and Whitburn can be in conservation areas. We check consents for alterations and flood or coastal risk.
