It's very expensive.

The estate on the marina? If so, they are stupidly overpriced. Of course, you pay for the location, but a lot of the properties are quite small.

Couple of houses of very similar spec etc sold for 178k and 200k last year. They are now going on for 250k.
Yeah, to convince my Mrs to move to Sunderland we need to be walking distance of the beach and that's now been narrowed to roker beach! So location couldn't be better.

Not a fan of the houses themselves but location is topper.

The location is great, but I wasn’t overly impressed with the properties. Some of them also feel a bit open at the back and it wouldn’t take much to climb into the back garden.
Pretty much all of Fulwell, Roker and Seaburn is only a 10min walk to the beach

I suspect if you view one mate, you will see why they remain on the market for so long. Fantastic location though

Yeah, I've been to see one, I can imagine people thinking the amount of space you can get elsewhere for the same or less money doesn't justify the price. She seems to have her heart set on it despite being half the size what we have currently.

The ones on the sea front at Seaham (East Shore) are spacious.

Not been through there, what's the beach and front like?

It’s not as nice.

Poor mans Seaburn.

Some are mate, but some are the same at North Haven. One of my mates lives near the Crows Nest, and his house is pretty small for what he paid for it.

Have a look at the developments slightly further along at St Peters , the houses are a lot bigger

Yeah good shout, I viewed one but it needed far too much doing on it. Nothing else down there at the mo

Does it have to be on the river/right on the beach mate?

Ideally, we have two kids under 3, I took her up there (we live 100 miles away but I used to live in Sunderland), and the reason we are moving is to have more on the door step. She looks after the kids full time so needs stuff in walking distance. Hence the reason she fell in love with that developed area with fausto and that down roker and why she is looking at houses on North haven with Rose tinted glasses
