Hi, I live in Linthorpe and you're right - asking prices don't seem to be dropping at all but equally - nothing is selling. The couple that have sold near me have gone for significantly less than the peak for the road though. Peak seemed to be about 125k-130k (3 bed end terrace/semi). A similar house but 2 bed and 'in need of renovation' has just gone for 90k. edit: I lie, it went for 77.5k - if it's the one I'm thinking of it was in a real state though. I'll check it tonight.

First post! Signed up as my wife and I are looking to move to Newcastle as we both now work there and commute from Middlesbrough. The house in question is huge and on Oxford road which is situated in Linthorpe. Linthorpe is far and away the best area to live in if you want to be near the town. I live round the corner myself I've never seen any trouble here and to be honest, it's the only area where I'd happily let the wife walk home by herself at night. 200k is a snip for the size of the house. If it were within my budget I'd buy it and still commute
