Tenant Find in Newcastle upon Tyne
Tenant Find for landlords in Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle is one of the busiest lettings markets in the North East, with strong demand from young professionals, postgraduates and families. KeyMoment's Tenant Find service gives Newcastle landlords a clear, fixed-fee route from marketing through referencing to tenancy setup.
£500 fixed-fee Tenant Find in Newcastle upon Tyne
KeyMoment offers a fixed-fee Tenant Find service to landlords letting a home in Newcastle upon Tyne. 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 private landlords letting a self-contained property in Newcastle — city-centre apartments, terraces and family homes in the suburbs. Not suitable for landlords who want ongoing management, rent collection or deposit protection through us; we hand back after tenancy setup so you can manage the property yourself.

Rental appraisal
Newcastle rents vary sharply by postcode, property type and target tenant profile. A two-bed flat pitched at professionals in Jesmond behaves very differently from a family terrace in Fenham. We provide a suggested marketing rent from current comparable lettings and the property's condition and EPC — you choose the asking rent before we go live. The appraisal is not a valuation.
Getting the property ready to let
Newcastle tenants — and Newcastle City Council for licensed properties — expect the property to meet current safety standards on day one. We ask for evidence of the essentials below before we launch marketing so viewings do not surface avoidable issues.
- 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 written for the specific Newcastle audience the property suits (professionals, sharers, families) and list to generate enquiries. Portal exposure is confirmed in writing at instruction. We handle initial enquiry filtering to save you time on unsuitable leads.
Viewing coordination
Viewings are booked in blocks where possible to reduce disruption to any existing occupier and to move quickly on well-presented properties. Access is agreed with you in writing before viewings start. We can accompany viewings or brief a current tenant on what to expect where you prefer to keep hold of the keys.
Applications, referencing and your decision
Every serious applicant is put through identity, Right to Rent, income affordability and previous tenancy checks via an established referencing provider. Guarantors are referenced to the same standard where used. Decision criteria are consistent, documented and non-discriminatory.
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
Newcastle City Council operates additional HMO licensing in defined areas of the city and a selective licensing scheme in certain wards. Requirements and boundaries change; check the current position for your specific street on the Newcastle City 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 — Newcastle upon Tyne
- Do you handle student lets in Jesmond and Heaton?
- Purpose-built student HMOs are considered case-by-case and depend on licensing. For self-contained lets to postgraduates or working professionals in Jesmond and Heaton we work in the normal way.
- Can Tenant Find cover an off-plan or newly refurbished flat?
- Yes, provided the flat will be ready to let by the target marketing date with all safety certificates in place. We will not go live before certification is complete.
- Do you support furnished and unfurnished lets in Newcastle equally?
- Yes. We will note the furnishing level in the listing and target the applicant pool accordingly — furnished tends to suit professionals moving into Newcastle short-term, unfurnished suits longer-term family lets.
- What happens if the first tenant fails referencing?
- We tell you promptly, share the reason where the applicant permits, and re-open marketing or move to the next enquiry. There is no additional fee for re-marketing within the same instruction.
- Is KeyMoment based in Newcastle?
- KeyMoment is a Newcastle-focused North East lettings service but does not operate a walk-in high-street branch in the city. We attend the property by appointment.
