In 1974, I embarked on a career in the property profession as a trainee surveyor. I was thrilled to qualify as a Chartered Surveyor in 1978 and became a Fellow shortly after. In those days, a surveyor did everything including sales, lettings, surveys, commercial, valuations and other professional work.
I was excited to open my first Andrew Craig office in Gateshead, in 1990. We now have twelve branches and we still provide all of those diverse services but in the modern environment, they are provided by different specialists. This is a true family business and I am privileged to work daily with my wife and three daughters, who all have specialist roles.

Jack and the team were very helpful during the sale of our house. They lined up viewings in a timely manner and gave sound advice regarding offers. Our house sold immediately and the Andrew Craig team played a huge part in this. Jack kept in touch and updated us at each stage of the sale. We would definitely (and have already recommended) Andrew Craig’s service to family and friends.

My first time buying a house. I was in very safe hands. From day 1 I’ve had a fantastic experience. I was given details of a solicitor team when I made the offer for the house who (using an app and via calls) kept me up to date with what was happening and when. I also received regular unprompted updates from Jack to let me know how the move was progressing. When I wanted to go back for a second viewing after I’d had the offer accepted it was no problem and arranged for me quickly. I appreciate there was no chain either side, but to be completing after just over 9 weeks is amazing!! Thanks folks

I have just sold my property through Andrew Craig. From the start of the process to the very end I was kept updated on the progress of the sale. I dealt with Jack, who is an asset to the Low Fell branch. He is very knowledgeable and put me at ease when I had moments of panic. He was there to answer any queries and always responded in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Andrew Craig to others and will use again myself in the future.
Thank you!!
Thank you!!

I was a tenant through Andrew Craig for around 2 years. This was the first time I was a tenant in around 15 years as I relocated into the area.
My contact, namely Donna was phenomenal. Really responsive, very fair and helped represent both parties really well. The house I rented had a number of issues but never did I feel like I was being problematic. In addition their network of contractors they used were generally very responsive so nothing dragged on.
As now a landlord myself I wish I used Andrew Craig as they are on top of all things to do with property management and being proactive which

Andrew Craig have been nothing short of excellent. From my initial valuation of my property to completion. They have guided me every step of the way, making sure I get the very best price for my property.
Due to circumstances beyond my and Andrew Craig’s control the conveyancing become very complicated. They were able to navigate the process with me, contacting solicitors and doing everything they could to move the sale along.
A special shout out to Jack who really went they extra mile, giving sound advice. Despite this being a very busy time, he always responded promptly to all mine and solicitors

Jack was consistently professional, courteous and friendly throughout the whole process of selling my flat and I have no hesitation in saying the fees charged reflected good value for money taking all of this on board.
Despite being busy, Jack always came back to me ASAP and I didn't ever feel like I was waiting or disregarded and have no doubt that he is working with clients whose properties were selling at a substantially higher value than mine.
I would absolutely use Andrew Craig in the future and recommend them to anyone else, smooth from beginning to end and any small concerns or queries

Absolutely fantastic service from Andrew Craig, in particular Denise, Gill and Victoria who were so professional with their advice, guidance, knowledge in securing a tenant for my property. From start to finish, I felt confident that I was in safe hands with brilliant service which was competitive in price. My property was rented within a day with an excellent online marketing presence, showing everything in its best light. All safety aspects were taken care of including gas and electric checks to even the mundane tasks like final meter readings, even this was done with a cheery smile and a ‘can
