Abode Living Team
Since the opening of the Newcastle branch 10 years ago, Abode living has been built on a foundation of strong trusting relationships with local clients just like you. From humble beginnings, we grew steadily without Radio, TV, or local newspaper advertising, and our customers have grown to Corporate clients such as Nissan, ITV and NHS. We are proud members of the Client Money Protect National Approved Letting, including Client Money protection and Ombudsman for Property and the property redress scheme which means we conduct ourselves in a manner which meets the professional standards in estate agency.
By the end of 2013 the timing was right to give ourselves some breathing space and move into a large 3 storey corner office on a popular Newcastle High Street.
We are a traditional local business with powerful technology behind us, and a tightly knit team who work together to achieve the right result for you.
