Sheffield’s award-winning ‘Grey to Green‘ urban planting scheme has transformed areas of Castlegate entirely.

Visit Castlegate to enjoy Pollen Market, a monthly inner-city flower market, or visit the UK’s only purpose-built city centre skateboarding space.
When moving into a rental property, there are a number of considerations that you should think carefully about. For example:
Before you embark on your renting journey, take the time to consider the following information.
When signing for a rental property, take time to consider what you can reasonably afford. You will have the added costs for water, electricity, gas, council tax and broadband added on to the cost of monthly rent, so make sure to plan for these costs. You will also need to pay for a holding deposit and a tenancy deposit before your tenancy can begin.
If you are commuting to work from your rental property, it will be important that appropriate transport links are available for your use. Consider the time of your journey, and how long it will reasonably take for you to travel from your home to work. A good idea might be to spend time in the local area to scope out public transport options, supermarkets, or any other amenities you may require.
You may need a guarantor to proceed with a rental agreement. Often a parent or guardian, a guarantor is chosen to take responsibility for the rent if a tenant fails to do so. Any damages may also be covered by a guarantor, and any rent arrears that are not covered by the tenant will also fall to the guarantor. To be accepted as a guarantor, they will need to complete the same referencing process as the tenant.
