Tyne and Wear is a metropolitan county which came into existence in 1974. It is made up from 5 metropolitan boroughs; South Tyneside, North Tyneside, City of Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and the City of Sunderland. Adjacent counties include Northumberland and County Durham. Prior to 1974, the county's area straddled the River Tyne, with the north side in Northumberland and south side in Durham.The most populated area in the county is the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, which used to be synonymous with shipbuilding. Among many places of interest in the county are; Antony Gormley's famous 'Angel of the North' statue and the Beamish Museum, both in Gateshead; Hadrian's Wall, Jesmond Dene park, The Biscuit Factory and the Laing Art Gallery, all in Newcastle; Segedunum Roman Fort & Museum, Wallsend and St Mary's Island bird reserve, all in North Tyneside and the Museum and Winter Gardens in Sunderland.
There are 2 motorways in the county, the A1(M) and A194(M) and numerous trunk roads. The main transport hub is Newcastle, which offers fast, direct railway services to London King's Cross (duration around 3 hours) and many other major conurbations.
Coal was discovered in the area in 1234 and Newcastle became the first coal port in the world. The Gateshead Millennium Bridge in Gateshead is the first rotating bridge ever built in the world. Italian Revolutionary Guiseppe Garibaldi lived on Tyneside for a few months on his way to foment the Italian irredentist movement.

How do I find out how much stamp duty I have to pay?
You always have to complete a stamp duty declaration to HMRC whenever you buy a home and this will be done on your behalf by your solicitor.
If the home you've bought is (or will be after you've sold your existing only home) your only home and primary residence and the price of your new home exceeds £125,000; you have to pay stamp duty, initially at 2% of the value exceeding £125,000.
If the home you've bought is a second home, you have to pay stamp duty on it if the value exceeds £40,000. For values ranging between £40,000 to £125,000, you have to pay stamp duty at 3% of the amount exceeding £40,000.
For property values exceeding £125,000, you additionally have to pay stamp duty of 5% of the value exceeding £125,000.
The higher the buying price, the higher the percentage of stamp duty you will pay. The next band covers buying prices ranging between £925,001 and £1.5 million and the stamp duty rates are 5% and 8% respectively.
