WHY INVEST IN SHEFFIELD Sheffield is an economic powerhouse in the north of England, attracting businesses globally with a high employment rate, and excellent accessibility and connectivity. Around 2.1 million people live within a 60 minute commute of the city where growing key sectors include the creative and digital industries, low-carbon, and healthcare technologies. The city centre has undergone a radical transformation in recent years and offers a vibrant and cosmopolitan experience that rivals any European city. Over 65,000 students study at Sheffield s two universities, including more than 7,000 international students. The city recently topped a list of university towns and cities that could benefit from more student accommodation: the universities are only able to provide 11,369 bedrooms to more than 46,890 full-time students, leaving a massive 76% looking for accommodation in the private rented sector. The naturally growing population and international student growth are key driving forces behind demand for quality purpose-built accommodation and, with no cap on the numbers who can study in the UK, Knight Frank forecasts this amount will increase by 15-20% over the next five years. Sheffield s Thriving Economy Jobs in the city increased by 22% between 1995 and 2008 With an economy bigger than some European countries, the Sheffield City Region is a significant financial power. The region is home to almost 1.8 million people and has an output of more than 24.7 billion per year.
A vibrant and CULTURED CITY Sheffield is a richly diverse, multicultural city that has earned its reputation for being one of the friendliest and safest in the UK. The UK s fourth largest city, Sheffield offers a unique blend of both urban lifestyle and rural retreat. The city has been going through something of an urban renaissance in recent years, making the most of its grand industrial heritage and architecture, and reinventing itself as a city of European significance. Sheffield has something for everyone: a vibrant pub and club culture; high street and boutique shopping; restaurants to suit all tastes; the largest theatre complex outside London; art galleries; iconic music venues; and sports facilities, including three climbing centres and the world s deepest diving pool. Yet a third of the city also lies within the beautiful Peak District National Park. This combination of an exciting, bustling, cosmopolitan city within an outstanding area of natural beauty makes Sheffield a truly unique and inspirational place to live, work and study. Part of the Northern Power House Initiative, Sheffield s affordable and high demand property market represents one the premier BTL hotspots in the UK today

pay zero service charge, ground rent and management fees for the first 3 years Investing in Sheffield s Buy-To-Let Market Sheffield is England's 4th largest city. It is an exciting and modern place, with a population of over 500,000. Sheffield City Centre offers buy-to-let investors the best returns in the UK, according to recent research conducted by Comparison website TotallyMoney.com across more than 2,600 postcodes. Low property prices, improvements to the city centre and high tenant demand due to population retention rates have clearly created the perfect conditions to make Sheffield a buy-to-let hotspot. According to Knight Frank, Sheffield s rental market is providing optimism for the city s property sector. Rental properties in Sheffield city centre are snapped up in an average of three days with up to five tenants vying for each available property. It is an excellent opportunity for private landlords to invest in a new property with such a high chance of finding a suitable tenant at short notice upon completion. With sensibly priced houses, flexible mortgages and the increasing price of rent, conditions are ideal for investment. Sheffield s attractiveness is no disadvantage and with changes across the city landscape including new homes, renovated buildings and commercial hubs, it s only going to become more popular. There is an influx of people moving to the city for work and students from the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University remaining in the city that they ve grown to love. It has an ever-developing commercial, cultural and arts scenes, and those who wish to live here but don t have the accessible funds to buy a home are turning to rented property. Knight Frank commented "Sheffield is at a massive advantage over other major northern cities, benefiting from its location, strength of the rental market and relative undersupply of city centre residential units. The strength of the rental market can also be attributed to the limited number of high quality centrally located schemes in Sheffield, especially when compared with other regional centres across the UK"
