Any Comments On Haybrooks Estate Agents
pikeman replied to bigbifter's topic in Sheffield Property & Housing
I'm BUYING thru Haybrooks at the minute &have to say that their 'help' has been very poor, just 3 telephone call's from them in 10 weeks & one of those was more hinderance than help thankfully I have got a good convayancer & also get on well with the seller so we've been able to keep things running smooth without Haybrook's help. Like all estate agents their more than happy to help you before the sale but once the sale go's thru ... No interest Pikeman -

Best exchange rate for Euros - where in Sheffield?
pikeman replied to taxman's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Ilkeston co-op travel for me too. Very good deals (even better if you buy large sums ) & also very good buy back rates. Plus the shop in town centre has some very friendly staff. -

Ins and outs of Newstead demolition, Birley
pikeman replied to Yellowrose's topic in Sheffield Property & Housing
The road you are interested in is in phase 4/5 so as probabley told to you the tenants in those houses still have another 3-4 years still left before they are given notification of phase demolition, until that point they have no extra housing points or priority on council bidding or disturbance allowance. The houses that you have seen boarded up on that road have been empty for over a year (!) also one of the houses on that road suffered a bad house fire over xmas so will also be in need of boarding. As to the local yobs they tend to hang around on the footpaths at the back of the row of houses. Hope that helps you further although I see from mesage threads that you may be now interested in somewhere else. -
Ins and outs of Newstead demolition, Birley
pikeman replied to Yellowrose's topic in Sheffield Property & Housing
Last night was a quite night for a change ! I know the blocks you mean that your looking at as I live on N wy , as to the financial part as all ready said ring the council office at Crystal Peaks & ask to speak to someone in the Newstead regeneration team they will clarify this info for your particular needs. Take a trip down to the bottom of the estate & ask yourself will I be happy living in this in 18- 24 months time , remember this estate is up for demolition & people like myself are moving out all the time & more & more houses will be boarded up. If you want similar size/type house look to the Norfolk park regen houses. regards Pikeman -
Ins and outs of Newstead demolition, Birley
pikeman replied to Yellowrose's topic in Sheffield Property & Housing
Hi alysonpeach, YES i live on the Newstead Estate on Newstead Wy . You REALY DONT want to move on to this estate (even if the council still allow it ) as its all up for demolition. I (thank the lord) move of the estate very soon & am counting down the days , the top end of the estate may seem resonable but the bottom of the estate is virtualy empty other than those pleople who are on a latter demolition phase, this means that the teenage &younger gangs are now just in more & more a tight area with broken glass & stuff along all of the paths. There are alot better areas in south sheffield to move to at the moment other than this estate. ps this also go's for weaklands & scowerdons as well Hope this Helps you Pikeman
