Canny Coastal
Figures from Halifax have revealed that a coastal view from your home has increased the average value of a property by £22,000, or eight percent, in the last year. With UK-wide average coastal home prices at £265,000 in 2020 and then £287,087 in 2021, these figures are expected to follow suit well into 2023. This trend can be seen in the North East, with terraced properties in Whitley Bay averaging a 12 percent increase on their 2019 price.
Teesside Investment
Middlesbrough-based real estate advisory firm United Kingdom Development Corporation has launched with the intention of driving inward investment into North East property – delivering long-term infrastructure projects across the private and public sector. It’s planning to work with local authorities to fund regeneration plans for local communities, supporting local supply chains, creating jobs and promoting post-pandemic economic recovery.

Sky Scraping
Newcastle’s skyline is shaping up to have a massive new player. Plans for a ginormous structure have been revealed, New Bridge Street Tower, that would be the tallest building in the city. This 37-storey tower on the site of the former Premier Inn would house a selection of apartments, bars, restaurants and a hotel. If the plans go ahead, this building would dethrone the 26-storey Hadrian’s Tower as the king of the Newcastle skyline.
