GOLDEN OLDIE Â Â 15 #13 Posted October 17, 2017 I read an article in the Guardian praising Sheffield Council for its policy on building new homes. It seems that there was a massive building programme over the past year or so at Manor and Darnall. Cutlers View and Brearley Springs were mentioned, and more to be built 2020 onwards. Is the reality somewhat different for actually obtaining one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ez8004   10 #14 Posted October 21, 2017 You forgot to add "foreigner" to the list, a load of new houses have been build on the council estate near me, half of them cannot speak English. good luck to you  Maybe because they have other needs more pressing than simply you wanting a lifestyle change? Genuine question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Is the reality somewhat different for actually obtaining one?  None of the 293 built by the Sheffield Housing Company are actually 'council' houses. 70 properties were/are for rent, to get one people need to register with SCC. The majority are for outright sale, plus some for shared ownership.  http://www.sheffieldhousingcompany.co.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Has something changed?  IIRC at that age your parents are still responsible for you so you stay with them now till 18 or something??
