Is there a website for the flats next to the river don, wouldnt mind seeing a few pics of what they look like inside! :)

That's a bit like being a Peeping Tom...:o

like you then :P

Which Flats by River Don? several developments taking place.
The one near Kelham Island ... www.derwentliving.co.uk

I used to live in one of these (http://www.rightmove.co.uk/action/RedirectAction?p_id=5329466&exc_id=13932992&mediamode=brochure&pagetitle=Full+Brochure)....

just go onto www.rightmove.co.uk and search on S3 for places to rent, you should find loads.

I think the comment was regarding the name, a strange choice for the location.....

I wonder if buying half and renting the other half would actually cost more than getting a mortgage for the whole flat (assuming you could) ?

Plus, when you later decide to buy the other half do you get it at the same price as the first half you bought ?

saw too much of the river don as a kid when i lived on don road
those where the days

If, on the other hand, you are talking about the apartments where the old Tennants Brewery used to be they are the Riverside Exchange buildings. A single bedroom flat in this complex will cost about £500.00 per month rental.. Have a look at this link and see what you think

The security systems are good and there is some parking available.

Those flats are lovely! Preferred the brewery though :P

"Two minutes walk from Sheffield city centre, two minutes from Sheffields main train station."

I'd like to see someone walk it in 2 minutes.

Estate agents eh ?

2 mins if you are being chased by muggers

I must confess it is beyond me why someone would pay a huge sum to buy or a pay an exorbitant rent for one of these flats when they are:

~ Overlooking the tranquil River Don - A non descript, smelly and polluted river.

~ A stonesthrow away from a excellent variety of:
-Prostitutes
-Muggers
-Solicitors (shudder)
-Smackheads

~ With local amenities such as:
- The assortment of rough pubs around the castle markets
- The castle markets themselves
- The wonder that is the Wicker

I mean don't get me wrong I know they are planning to redevelop much of this area but until its done, or at least well underway - why would you pay so much to live in such a horrible place?

look a right mess!!!!


say's it how it is

You answer your own question - I expect many people will be buying them as in investment, which will surely grow when the improvements are made to local amenities.

And don't forget that the planned ring road completion (which has been discussed on another thread) should keep out many undesirables, too.
