Hi,

After doing some research about renting in Sheffield, I have discovered that most lettings companies charge crazy fees for administaration/registration/whatever they want to call it!

Having rented out a house through a private landlord in the past, I know that tenants can rent a lovely place without having to find all that extra cash.

So, how about starting up a list of all private landlords in and around the Sheffield area? Surely this could save a lot of time, money and hassle all round?

Coincidently, I'll be looking for a 2/3 terrace/semi house to rent from July of this onwards in either S10, S8, S21, S40, S41. S43 or S44. If you know of anything that might be available around then, please let me know!!

excellent idea.
We run a business for private landlords to use!
I will look for you.

Hopefully it would be free otherwise the list wouldn't be comprehensive.

I will speak to my friend (who is a web designer) and see if he fancies knocking up a basic website for landlords to advertise their details and/or properties that they have available.
As far as I know there aren't already any sites like this (apart from this one of course, which is often filled with student accomodation etc).

Does anybody think that this is a good/bad idea? would anybody be interested?

i think it would be an excellent idea!

Have a look at www.sadla.org.uk thats the official website of Sheffield & District Landlord Association. They have a forum though it's not very busy but mybe a post on there with your needs would get some response.
