Tenant Find in South Tyneside
Tenant Find for landlords in South Tyneside
South Tyneside covers South Shields, Jarrow, Hebburn and the coastal villages, with steady demand from local families, key workers and professionals commuting into Newcastle. KeyMoment's Tenant Find gives South Tyneside landlords a clear, fixed-fee route from marketing to tenancy setup — you keep the final decision.
£500 fixed-fee Tenant Find in South Tyneside
KeyMoment offers a fixed-fee Tenant Find service to landlords letting a home in South Tyneside. 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 home in South Tyneside — terraces in South Shields, family semis in Cleadon and Whitburn, or flats in Jarrow and Hebburn. Not suitable if you want ongoing management, rent collection or deposit protection through us; we hand back after move-in.

Rental appraisal
South Tyneside rents vary between coastal South Shields, the Boldons and the more industrial west of the borough. We provide a suggested marketing rent from current comparable lettings, condition and EPC — you choose the asking rent before we go live. The appraisal is a marketing view, not a formal valuation.
Getting the property ready to let
South Tyneside Council and incoming tenants both expect the property to meet current safety standards on day one. Before we launch marketing we ask for evidence of the essentials 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 pitched at the audience the property suits — coastal families around South Shields and Whitburn, commuters near the Metro line in Jarrow and Hebburn. Portal exposure is confirmed in writing at instruction.
Viewing coordination
Viewings are booked by appointment and grouped where possible to reduce disruption to any existing occupier. Access and key handling are agreed with you in writing before viewings begin.
Applications, referencing and your decision
Every serious applicant goes through identity, Right to Rent, income affordability and previous tenancy checks via an established referencing provider. Guarantors are referenced on the same basis 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
South Tyneside Council operates selective licensing in defined streets and additional HMO licensing across the borough. Schemes and boundaries change; check the current position for your specific address on the South Tyneside 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 — South Tyneside
- Do you cover the whole of South Tyneside including the Boldons?
- Yes. We work across the South Tyneside Council area — South Shields, Jarrow, Hebburn and the Boldons — with no separate travel charge inside the borough.
- How does coastal South Shields compare with Jarrow and Hebburn for demand?
- Coastal streets in South Shields and Whitburn tend to attract longer-term family tenants; Jarrow and Hebburn move faster with commuters using the Metro. We tailor the marketing accordingly.
- Can you let a house that still has current tenants in it?
- Yes, provided the outgoing tenants agree to viewings in writing and the property will be ready by the target start date. We coordinate access around them.
- Do you handle HMOs in South Shields?
- Standard single-household lets are covered as normal. HMOs are considered case-by-case and depend on the current licensing position — tell us at enquiry stage if it is or may be an HMO.
- Do you have a South Tyneside office?
- No. KeyMoment does not operate a walk-in branch in South Shields, Jarrow or Hebburn. We attend the property by appointment for the appraisal and viewings.
