Tenant Find in Gateshead
Tenant Find for landlords in Gateshead
Gateshead's rental market sits alongside Newcastle's but with its own price points and tenant profile. KeyMoment's Tenant Find gives Gateshead landlords a fixed-fee route to a referenced tenant without paying percentage-based agent fees.
£500 fixed-fee Tenant Find in Gateshead
KeyMoment offers a fixed-fee Tenant Find service to landlords letting a home in Gateshead. The fee is £500 per property and no VAT is currently charged. We prepare and market the property, handle enquiries and viewings, administer the application and referencing, and hand a fully documented applicant summary back to you. You retain the final decision on every applicant.
Who this is suitable for
Suitable for landlords letting a family home in a Gateshead suburb, a flat overlooking the Quayside, or a small terrace in one of the older central wards. Not suitable if you want ongoing management, rent collection or maintenance coordination — Tenant Find ends at tenancy setup and hands the property back to you.

Rental appraisal
Gateshead rents track local demand more than headline city figures — a well-presented terrace in Low Fell competes with Newcastle suburbs, while parts of the older stock inside the town centre sit lower. We provide a suggested marketing rent from current comparable lettings and the condition of your property; you set the asking rent before we go live. The appraisal is a marketing guide, not a valuation.
Getting the property ready to let
We ask for the safety basics to be in place before we launch marketing. Anything outstanding can be added as evidence lands — we will not go live on a property that is not ready to let.
- In-date gas safety certificate where applicable
- Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
- Energy Performance Certificate meeting current minimum standards
- Working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms as required
- Clean, presentable condition with any known repairs completed
Marketing and enquiries
We prepare photography-led particulars pitched at the tenant profile the property realistically suits. Enquiries come to KeyMoment and we filter for basic suitability so your time is spent on serious applicants.
Viewing coordination
Viewings are booked by appointment. For empty properties we can attend with keys; for occupied properties we coordinate with the existing tenant on reasonable notice. Access and key handling are agreed with you in writing before marketing starts.
Applications, referencing and your decision
Each shortlisted applicant is put through identity, Right to Rent, income affordability and previous tenancy checks with an established referencing provider. Guarantors are referenced on the same basis where used. We record the checks and share the results with you as part of the applicant summary.
Once referencing is complete we send a written applicant summary. The landlord retains the final decision on every applicant. We do not accept or reject tenants on your behalf.

Local licensing
Gateshead Council operates selective licensing designations in specific streets and wards, and additional HMO licensing rules apply to certain shared properties. Boundaries and requirements are updated periodically; confirm the current position for your address on the Gateshead Council website before you let.
This is general information, not legal advice. Confirm current licensing requirements with the relevant local authority for your specific address before you let.
Frequently asked questions — Gateshead
- Do you work across the full Gateshead Council area?
- Yes, from the Quayside through Low Fell, Whickham, Felling and out to Blaydon and Birtley. There is no separate area charge inside the local authority.
- Can you list a Gateshead flat and a rental in Newcastle together?
- Yes. Each property is instructed and priced separately at the £500 fee but we can run more than one for the same landlord in parallel.
- What happens if a Gateshead property needs selective licensing?
- It is the landlord's responsibility to be licensed where required. We will flag it if the property is in an area we know to be designated, but you should confirm the position with the council for your specific address.
- Do you provide inventories?
- A basic move-in inventory is administered as part of tenancy setup. Full professional inventory and check-in reports through a third-party clerk are available on request at additional cost, agreed in writing before instruction.
- Do you have a physical office in Gateshead?
- No. KeyMoment does not operate a walk-in office in Gateshead. Appraisals and viewings are by appointment at the property.
