Your Bespoke Property Partner in the North East
Why Chapman Estates?
Unlike national agencies, we don’t believe in “one size fits all” property lists. We offer a true 1-to-1 partnership. When you work with us, you aren’t just a number in a database—you are a client with a dedicated expert who understands your specific financial goals.
We specialise exclusively in the North East. We live here, we work here, and we know every street in:
Newcastle Upon Tyne & Gateshead
Northumberland
Sunderland
County Durham
Our hyper-local focus means we find “hidden gem” deals that national companies miss, ensuring you get the best possible entry price and maximum growth potential.
What do we offer?
A Full-Circle Investment Solution We take the stress out of building a portfolio by handling the heavy lifting:
Personal Sourcing: We hunt for properties based on your specific criteria, not just what’s on the open market.
Project Management: From clearing out “bombsites” to high-spec finishes, our local power team manages the entire refurbishment.
Vetted Tenancy: We use our local reputation to find and vet high-quality tenants, often before the renovation is even complete.
Portfolio Growth: We help you navigate the BRRRR process so you can recycle your capital and scale effectively.
Have you got at least £30,000 - £50,000 in savings?
We want our investors to succeed from Day 1. While some may claim you can start with less, we recommend a minimum liquid capital of £30,000 to £40,000 for a successful North East BRRRR project. Here is why:
The Deposit: To secure a Buy-to-Let mortgage, you typically need a 25% deposit. In our target areas, this usually equates to £15k–£20k.
Professional Fees: You must account for Stamp Duty (including the 3% investment surcharge), solicitor fees, and survey costs.
The Refurbishment Buffer: To truly “force” appreciation and pull your money back out, you need enough capital to fund a high-quality renovation.
Safety Net: Having a cash buffer ensures you can handle unexpected repairs or mortgage payments during the refurb phase without financial stress.
This starting amount ensures you have enough “skin in the game” to create a high-yielding, high-quality asset that a bank will be happy to refinance.
