Hexham has always been an attractive town in the heart of the beautiful Tyne Valley. The area boasts many exceptional properties and it was an ideal spot to start an estate agency. Andrew Coulson opened the doors of Northumbria & Cumbria Estates in 1989 and has seen his company grow to a size where it now employs 13 people who are dedicated to giving each client the care and attention that brings results. And while Hexham is now officially the country’s best market town – according to experts at Country Life – at Northumbria & Cumbria Estates we’re proving we can match our surroundings too. Against competition from 750 other independent estate agents we were voted the best in the Home Sale Network. It was in recognition for the drive and commitment of our staff and the innovative way we go about our business.

So what do you get with an award-winning estate agency? The best in terms of staff. Our experienced people are always customer-focused and proactive. Working from our prime location in the centre of Hexham, we use the best in up-to-date technology – just try our 'Property Search' for starters. When you’re selling, our superb colour advertising makes sure that your property gets noticed. This is backed up by a comprehensive accompanied viewing service.

Above all, we’re independent. That means we’re not beholden to some remote head office of a big group who have no idea about local conditions. We’re on the spot Monday to Saturday, every week, including most bank holidays. Yet our independence gives us more flexibility. Through the Home Sale Network, the largest of its kind in the UK for independent estate agents, you can have access to all parts of the country if you’re moving from our area – and you can use the network to relocate to the best place in Britain through Northumbria & Cumbria.
