Would A Million Pound Gor Far?
amazon123 replied to bassett one's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
That's an excellent and - I would guess - quite unusual level of return on your investments? You certainly couldn't expect to see that. Don't they say 4% as a safe income? -
Would A Million Pound Gor Far?
amazon123 replied to bassett one's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
If invested wisely, you could draw down 3% of the total each year without affecting the initial amount - some would say 4% but I'm trying to be realistic. So you could take an income of £30,000 a year while maintaining the million pounds (and, if lucky, it could grow). So a 20 year-old might struggle as they would have to consider rent/working towards buying a home and any associated mortgage. Someone who has all their ducks in a row (small/no mortgage and all the possessions they could want) could make it work if they lived sensibly. -
I'd say your best bet from that seletion is Heeley around Tillotson Rise. Very near the nicer parts of town, easy access to the city centre and close to nice bars/restaurants/shops.

Hi there, do you know if the owner is still planning to sell the building? I know lots of people are looking for spaces to open round there -
Up And Coming Areas For 1st Time Buyer?
amazon123 replied to JA1990's topic in Sheffield Property & Housing
The impact on prices in buy-to-let student areas will be very big, which is why prices in Crookes/Walkley etc. are stagnating or dropping. That isn't the case in Meersbrook though, which isn't a student area. -
Student Areas In Sheffield (Question)
amazon123 replied to Londonlad18's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Not sure about Hunters Bar but previously student-heavy Crookes has seen house prices drop over the past few years, against the trend for Sheffield as a whole. -

Best Areas For Families? schools etc?
amazon123 replied to Calad's topic in Sheffield Property & Housing
It sounds like you want to be looking in the south-west of the city (depending on where work would be) which is well-known for its schools, good housing, relative safety and a mix of good parks etc. Be aware that all postcodes have better and worse parts, but think of Sheffield as a clock face and you won't go too far wrong with the section between 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock. S7: Nether Edge, Millhouses S8: Meersbrook, Beauchief/Abbey Lane, Norton S10: Crookes, Crosspool, Nether Green, Endcliffe, Fulwood, Ranmoor S11: Banner Cross, Ecclesall, Whirlow, Greystones, Sharrow Vale S17: Dore, Totley, Bradway -
I was going to suggest S2 as an option for that budget in a decentish area - perhaps around Norfolk Park but that might be pushing it. If not, perhaps further out at Handsworth.

It's not the same everywhere. It's a council estate. Owner-occupied areas don't have those problems.

What's your budget and what kind of house are you looking for? -
Advice - Relocating To Sheffield
amazon123 replied to Icklepoyser's topic in Sheffield Property & Housing
This sums it up to be honest. If you want to live amongst middle-class professionals (ducks to avoid thrown bricks) you're looking at most, if not all, of S10, S11, S17, parts of S8 (Meersbrook, Beauchief) and S7 (Millhouses, most of Nether Edge).
