Sell Your Car in Hexham

Our yard sits in NE46, half a mile from the Abbey and a five-minute walk from the market square. If you live in Hexham you can drop a car directly to us, or we will collect from your address that morning. Most NE46 sales close inside twenty-four hours from photos to Faster Payment.

Hexham is the market town and administrative centre of west Northumberland, with around 13,000 residents on the south bank of the Tyne. The Abbey dates from the seventh century and the town has held a market grant since 1239. The A69 trans-Pennine route runs along the southern edge of the town. Newcastle is twenty-one miles east, Carlisle thirty-eight miles west.

What working out of the Hexham yard actually looks like

The car-buying rhythm in Hexham is shaped by three things: the school run on Battle Hill, market day on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and the A69 traffic-light cycle at the Tyne Mills end. We schedule pickups around all of them. A driveway in Causey Hill gets a different time slot to one in Acomb Road, because the practical routes are different. Customers who drop the car directly to the yard usually come at lunchtime when the high street is quieter.

The volume is high enough that we see almost everything. Daily collections include three-year executive saloons coming off PCP, family SUVs leaving the school car park for the last time, working pickups changing hands between farms in the Tyne Valley, and the occasional barn-find classic from a long-tenure household out towards Anick or Sandhoe. We pay for all of them on the day, with an offer that does not change once the keys appear.

Hexham Juniors Football Club, and a moment on Laurel Road

We sponsor Hexham Juniors Football Club. The kids' kits, the training tops, the bits a parent should not have to budget for on top of everything else. It is a small thing for a business to do and, for the right family, a meaningful one.

The reason it matters is simpler than the reason for it. A few weeks ago one of our buyers was on Laurel Road appraising a 2017 Ford Fiesta. Five lads rode past on bikes, the way kids in Hexham have always ridden through that part of town, and one of them stopped, looked across at the buyer, and shouted "hey, they sponsor my football team." The other four pulled up and joined in.

I grew up in Hexham. Laurel Road is a few streets from where I rode through as a kid with my own mates. If somebody had paid for the football kits back when my family was struggling, that would have made a real difference at home. So when those lads recognised us on a normal Tuesday afternoon during a normal car appraisal, that landed harder than it sounds. It is the bit of the business that has nothing to do with cars.

Moments like that are why I am still doing this. We are not a national brand running a marketing budget out of a head office. We are a local business that lives in the town and shops at the same Co-op as everyone else. If we can take some pressure off a few households a year by covering the kits, we will keep doing it.

How is your offer different to a Vertu part-exchange or a national online quote?

Our offer is benchmarked against what the local trade actually pays for the car, not against a national auction algorithm or a connected-sale incentive. There is no transporter fee built in, no inspection deduction at the kerbside, and no admin charge at the end. The owner of the business sets the price, signs the cheque, and is the one driving the trailer when the car comes back. That is the structural difference between us and the alternatives.

What if my car has finance, no V5C, or has not started in two years?

All three, regularly. PCP and HP settlements are handled directly with the lender on the day. Probate and bereavement cases use the DVLA Sensitive Casework Team route, with no time pressure. Cars without the V5C complete on photo ID and DVLA online verification. Vehicles that have sat for years get a recovery truck, a slow charger and the diagnostic kit; we drive them onto the trailer rather than ask you to.
