Hello February

2 February 2024

Goodbye January (that was quick) Hello February!

In no time at all we will be saying goodbye to our current tenants and Hello to our 24/25 tenants.

But let#s focus on the month ahead, here are some key dates for the Month of February:

13th February- Shrove Tuesday (better known as Pancake day)

14th February- Ash Wednesday and St Valentines Day (the Day of Love) 

BUT did you know that the last leap year was in 2020 when February, (the shortest month) had 29 days instead of the usual 28 days.

A leap year happens every 4 years, so that means there are 29 days in February this year, DON'T FORGET!

Summer Activities in Sheffield

31 July 2023

Things to do during the summer break here in Sheffield

During the summer many of our students stay in Sheffield to work or are on placement so we just wanted to share some things to do here in our wonderful City.

ok ok the weather isn't great but there are still lots of things to see and do in Sheffield even if the sun doesn't want to make an appearance.

• Sheffield is a vibrant and cultural city with a wonderful range of bars, resturants and things to see and do. Sheffield has a vibrant and much loved art/music scene, since 2014 Sheffield has been painted with Street Art and Grafitti, check out the various locations here, all of which have been done by various different artisits.

• Sheffield is home to many wonderful parks and outdoor spaces to enjoy on those lovely sunny days or even a rainy day, Sheffield's parks and outdoors spaces are beautiful no matter what the weather or time of year and also we are very lucky to live so close to Peak District where you will find many wonderful places to visit and walks to explore right on the doorstep...ok you may need to drive about 15-20 minutes but that's not too bad is it?

                                 Endcliffe Park, S11

• Sheffield has a wide array of art galleries which are great for a rainy day activity or even if you wanted a break from the sunshine/great outdoors, here are a couple of ideas: Weston park Museum, National Emergency Services Museum (pay once and get free entry for a year!), The National Video Game Museum, Millenium Art Gallery located in the heart of the city near the peace gardens and so much more besides.

        

• Are you more of a theatre lover? Thats fine, Sheffield has some wonderful theatres which you may love to visit and here they are: Lyceum Theatre, Crucible Theatre, The Playhouse and The Lantern Theatre. To see whats on at each venue head over to the Sheffield Theatres website here

In fact Sheffield is listed as number 2 on the list!

There is no wonder over 40,000 students choose to live and study in Sheffield each year, this is a vibrant city full of culture, music venues, parks and fantastic places/things to see and do.

Dealing with condensation

15 May 2023

Condensation is an issue nearly every property has to deal with throughout the year (especially winter). Condensation occurs when a lack of warm air or ventilation is present in the home, particularly in the shower or bathrooms.

Here are some of our tips to help reduce condensation in your student accommodation and help keep the mould away:

1. Wipe down the shower screen, bath/shower tiles and floor tiles to get rid of the excess moisture.

2. Never turn off the extractor fans in the shower/bathrooms and kitchens as they help circulate the air and reduce the risk of condensation.

3. If there is a window in the shower/bathroom or kitchen then opening these during a shower, bath or cooking will also help reduce the risk of condensation.

4. First thing in a morning if there is condensation on the windows, then wipe them down with a dry cloth and open the windows to allow for ventilation of the room.

5. If the weather outside is too cold to have the windows open, then having the heating on will keep the air in the home warm and ventilated and help with reducing condensation. 

6. Dry your clothes outside where possible, if you are drying clothes indoors make sure the heating is on or the windows are open to let the moisture from the clothes escape and help reduce the risk of condensation.

7. Using a pan lid when cooking will help to reduce the risk of moisture escaping from the pan which could lead to condensation on the windows and other surfaces.

Security over Christmas

22 December 2022

Christmas is a prime time for burglaries especially in unoccupied properties, so we have highlighted a few key things to help your keep your property safe while you are on a night out or away for the Festive Period:

1. Make sure all windows and doors are shut and locked whether the house is occupied or not.

2. Take all valaubales home with you or keep them out of sight when the house is unoccupied.

3. If the house is empty over the Christmas period we would advise to have at least one light to come on a timer setting even just for a couple of hours in an evening.

4. Ensure groundfloor bedroom curtains are kept closed when nobody is in the room.

5. When getting a taxi for a night out or to go away always ask to be picked up away from your property so they dont know which house is unocciped, or passers by do not see you leaving the house.

6. Locked the door? If you are unsure its always best to go back and check.
