Jarrow rental market, what landlords need to know
Jarrow is a town in the South Tyneside Metropolitan Borough, situated on the south bank of the River Tyne approximately 8 miles east of Newcastle city centre. The town is historically significant as the starting point of the 1936 Jarrow March, when 200 unemployed workers walked to London to petition Parliament against the mass unemployment caused by the closure of Palmer's Shipyard. The shipyard site has since been redeveloped as the Tyne Dock industrial estate and enterprise area. Contemporary employment in Jarrow and surrounding South Tyneside includes significant Amazon logistics (a large fulfilment centre is located in the borough), NHS employment at South Tyneside District Hospital in nearby South Shields and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead, manufacturing, and retail. Jarrow has direct Tyne and Wear Metro connections to Newcastle city centre (approximately 20 minutes) and to South Shields, making it an accessible commuter location. Property prices are among the most affordable in Tyne and Wear, and gross BTL yields of 8-11% reflect very low entry costs against steady rental demand from NHS workers, logistics and manufacturing employees, and Newcastle commuters who cannot afford city-centre prices.
