What would your place rent for in Gateshead?

The £798 average above is the whole district, every size and condition mixed together. It's a fair sanity check, but it isn't a valuation of one property, and the gap between a 1-bed at £587 and a 3-bed at £838 shows why. For an actual figure you need the specific address: its size, its EPC, its street, and what comparable homes nearby genuinely let for.
