Selling a slip dress in Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle sits above a gorge crossed by a run of bridges that is the city’s signature, built on coal and shipbuilding and now on a university, a hospital sector and a nightlife with a national reputation. The Georgian centre is unusually intact for a northern industrial city.
Two universities clear housing every June and the student districts are concentrated enough that the turnover is visible. Hospital and university staff postings add a second, slower cycle.
The Metro covers the city and the wider region well and makes small handovers easy without a car. The centre is steep in places, so for anything heavy establish how far it is from a road a vehicle can reach.
Student-let furniture has usually had a hard three years even when it photographs well. Check the joints on anything wooden and sit on anything upholstered before you commit.
Handing it over in Newcastle upon Tyne
Two practical things shape a UK sale. Bank holidays and the run-up to Christmas slow collections right down, so build a few extra days in. And postage from mainland Britain to Northern Ireland, the Highlands and the islands carries surcharges that catch sellers out — quote for the buyer’s actual postcode rather than a flat rate.
