Established in 1877 Louis Taylor is a traditional company and we pride ourselves on our professional and personal service to our clients. We value our customers and care about everything that happens within our company. Our policy of continous investment in staff training and information technology enables us to provide a first class service to both sellers and buyers. When you buy a home through Louis Taylor Estate Agents we take pride in making sure you are completely satisfied.

Please feel free to pop into our Newcastle office for a chat about any of the aspects involved in the process of buying or selling a property, or telephone to arrange a FREE MARKET APPRAISAL of your home, on 01782 622677.

Most importantly, remember that moving home is meant to be a fun experience and we are here to help.

Residential Sales

Whatever your reason for moving, we're here to help you. Whether you are a first time buyer or a seasoned mover, we'll find out exactly what you are looking for and try to match those needs as closely as possible to the choice of properties we have available. We will also keep you informed of new properties as they come onto the market.

We will make all the arrangements for you to visit as many properties as you wish at times convenient to you. Once you find the right home we will pass on your offer to the seller and carry out negotiations on your behalf, making sure that both parties are happy with any agreement reached.

When your offer is accepted we will make every endeavour to ensure that all goes smoothly by communicating with both solicitors involved. We can put you in touch with local solicitors whose service is designed to be both efficient and supportive to speed up the home buying process.

We are working in conjunction with Pace Ward, an independent Financial Company, who offer our clients mortgage and mortgage protection advice. As a specialist mortgage broker, Pace Ward feel that every customer should not only receive the best mortgage to suit their needs but also a quick and efficient service making the whole process much simpler.
