bookie Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 HI, I have secured one of these flats in s3, its by the river but it seems its very industrial. It's off rutland road, not far from the DIY shop i was wondering if anybody think it's unsafe? and any other comments? AM I MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION??????? thanks B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomSheffield Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hello, I bought one of these about 6 months ago, and i'm very happy with it. The area is industrial, but i wouldn't say it is unsafe. They are basically taking a bulldozer through the whole area, and redeveloping it as flats, so it is fairly 'up and coming'. You can read the councils strategy for the area if you google 'kelham island quarter' it is the first hit. Cheers Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeeeeeeeeek Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 With the added bonus of an abundence of cheap hookers on your dootstep. Sure Tom will point out the best ones for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie10 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi I bought one of these last november and have lived there happily for a year with no problems at all. There are a few "ladies of the night" around but its generally a safe area. And close to Fat Cat and Kelham Island Tavern, with a new restaurant/bar opening soon on the corner. Let me know if you decide to buy one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeeeeeeeeek Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 On a more serious note I think they are good. Close to town but with less traffic problems once the ring road is finished. The River is nice and the flats are bigger than some of the other developments.. If I was going to buy a flat then I would choose one of those over most other new developments that are poping up everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATIEB_23 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I work at the Architect's who are developing most of that area. I wish I could afford to invest there cos it is gonna be amazing around there in a few years! The apartments built there a couple of years ago have already increased in value loads. Do you know what the development you're buying into is called? I might be able to get you some more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookie Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Also: how easy is it going to find a flatmate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATIEB_23 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Oh right we didn't do those ones. But I would think that there's a fair amount of profit to be made there - because the area is going to be so much nicer in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying a shared property is ok, you wouldn't be able to afford anything anywhere near as nice outright. Its great for town too, it 15 mins walk into town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
