interestrateripoff Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 http://makespaceuk.com/sheffield/ This is being advertised in Sheffield. Stretch out in your double bed.... well you'd have to as there's little room elsewhere. All this for £600 a month or £150 a week if you consider it a bargain.

Paul77 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) As a foreigner I was always puzzled what is the definition of double bedroom? Is it a room with window where 140x200cm mattress would fit? Edited April 24, 2016 by Paul77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porca misèria Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 As a foreigner I was always puzzled what is the definition of double bedroom? Is it a room with window where 140x200cm mattress would fit? Not sure there is a definitive definition, in the manner of a minimum size. What the Germans legally call a "half room" would be called a single by an honest agent, but some of the London landlords I encountered in my youth might've divided that same room in two and described each half as a "large double".

You may not have notices UK mattress sizes are different too, so it only needs to fit a 135x190cm mattress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butthead Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I don't know anything about the Sheffield rental market so can't comment on the price, but... As a concept, I like it! (flame suit at the ready) Kind of like a cross between a hotel and a flat, or a slightly more up-market Uni hall of residence. If I was an early 20-something again, wanted my own space near to work and would be out more often than not I'd rent somewhere like that.

Squeeky Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 The only thing I can't see mentioned is laundry facilities. But doesn't look too bad. 100 - 200 less a month and there would be no hesitations as a student or singleton. It depends if it remains a similar experience to a hotel or becomes a frat house....

Having seen some clever pieces of design for tiny flats on YouTube (always American) I'm surprised that landlords of this type of flat over here don't use them to maximise space. I'm talking about sliding walls and hideaway beds and tables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steppenpig Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Horrible website. Doesn't provide info. Lots of arty photos of buildings from funny angles, but they actually look really ugly. I'd quite like to know the tems. Is it hotel, short, or long lets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
