Sales, lettings and management

Bowson is an independent estate and letting agency in Newcastle upon Tyne. We’ve been selling, letting and managing homes here since 2000.

Being independent means the decisions about your sale or your tenancy are made in our two offices, by the people who work the streets around them. Most of that work is in Jesmond, Heaton, High Heaton, Gosforth, Benton and Wallsend, and further out from there.

We also write about what we’re seeing in the local market, in plain English, on our blog and our YouTube channel.

What we stand for

Three things we try to get right.

Local knowledge

Two streets apart in the same postcode can mean a different buyer, a different rent and a different council. That knowledge comes from working these areas every day, and it’s what our advice is built on.

Straight answers

Plenty of property questions don’t have one answer. We’d rather say it depends, and explain what it depends on, than give a neat answer that turns out to be wrong. When our own advice isn’t working, we say so first.

Better decisions

Our job isn’t to talk anyone into anything. It’s to put the evidence, the options and the risks in front of you, so whatever you decide, you decide it with the full picture.

Working with us

What it should feel like.

Personal, not a process

You’ll deal with people who know you by name, and whose names you know. There’s no call centre.

Told, not chasing

You shouldn’t have to ask where things are up to. Updates come from us, whether or not there’s news.

Here for the long run

We’ve worked these streets since 2000, and we’d like to be the agent you come back to next time.

Done by our own people

Our own team takes the photographs, makes the films and handles day-to-day maintenance on the homes we manage.

In clients’ words

“We found them to be professional but more importantly they were personal.”

Kept informed

Always taking the time to explain what was happening and keeping me fully informed with regular updates, whether the news was good or challenging.

People, not a process

Sam was amazing from start to finish, made us feel comfortable and at ease. Felt more like family rather than just a number, which some agents make you feel.

Megan
There for the hard part

We purchased our property through Bowson and they were absolutely fantastic throughout, nothing was too much of a bother for them and they went out of their way to help when required.
