Signature

Signature, an estate agency spanning the North East of England

Signature is a property agency whose head office sits at 146-148 Park View in Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear. Its activity covers residential sales and lettings, alongside complementary services in finance and law, and it presents itself as covering the whole North East, from Durham to Morpeth and from Whitley Bay to Whickham.

The agency states that it has sold over £4 billion worth of property in 15 years and that it has won Estate Agency of the Year UK on several occasions. It also describes itself as the highest 5-star rated estate agent in the North East, a claim attributed to its own presentation and to client recommendations.

Sales, lettings and the wider service range

The service menu is organised around buying, selling and letting. For sellers, the agency lists properties for sale and a sold gallery; for buyers, a search of available homes. On the lettings side it separates properties to let, a let gallery and a maintenance service for rented homes. Two further lines complete the offer: Signature Finance and Signature Law, which the agency presents as specialist support so that questions around buying, selling or letting can be handled in-house.

The property listings shown on the site at the time of writing included freehold and leasehold homes across the region, among them detached, semi-detached and terraced houses, flats and bungalows in Whitley Bay, Ashington, North Shields, Blyth, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Morpeth, Wallsend and Felton. Asking prices ranged from £140,000 to £495,000, some quoted as offers over.

Valuations and marketing approach

Signature offers a complimentary property valuation with no obligation, carried out by valuation specialists the company describes as having more than 20 years of experience. In his message on the site, managing director Mark Small traces the firm's approach to his own background at a high-end luxury estate agency and later as an Area Director at Countrywide, where he led more than 200 staff. He argues that the agency does not rely solely on property portals but actively seeks out buyers for each instruction.

The company frames part of its activity around luxury homes, referring to a team dedicated to understanding clients' requirements and accompanying them through the process.

A branch network across the region

Beyond the Whitley Bay head office, Signature lists a broad network of locations, each with its own telephone number: Cramlington, Tynemouth, Morpeth, Ponteland, Wallsend, Alnwick, Heaton, Forest Hall, Newcastle, Durham, Gosforth, Sunderland, Whickham, Gateshead, Jesmond, Killingworth and Ryton. The agency presents this spread as a way of staying close to clients wherever they are in the North East.
