Why do prices differ in Newcastle?
Labour rates in the North of England typically run 10-15% below the national average, though busy city centres price closer to the middle of the range.
Tyneside flats — pairs of single-storey flats behind one terraced facade, each with its own front door — are Newcastle's signature stock and nearly unique to Tyneside. They double up supplies, meters and consumer units in one building, which changes the shape of electrical and heating jobs.
