Once the home of one of the UK’s most important regional ports, Sunderland has always offered homebuyers fantastic value for their money. Today, the city is a thriving business hub, and despite having experience a sharp increase in house prices, remains more affordable than north-eastern cities. Whether you’ve been here your whole life or are planning to move from nearby sites like South Shields or Gateshead, below we dive deeper into Sunderland property prices.
Where to buy in Sunderland
With a prime location by the sea, its unique small-town feel and the outstanding quality of its education system, it’s no wonder that homes in Sunderland are always so popular. There are many different areas to choose from, which cater for every budget and lifestyle.
Fulwell
Situated a stone’s throw from Roker Beach, Fulwell is a desirable place to live among various buyers, thanks to its great variety of places to eat and drink. While many houses are 19th-century terraced houses, you can also find a host of semi-detached new build houses, dating back to the 1930s. This pleasant part of Sunderland is also famous for its excellent bus links, linking the area to Seaburn, Sunderland city centre and Newcastle.

With plenty of local boutiques, fish and chips shops and playgrounds for your children to enjoy, this coastal resort is a brilliant place to move to for families, couples and older generations alike. Our brilliant Bedewell Court in Hebburn offers elegant 3 and 4 bedroom homes if you’re looking to upsize.
