Sheffield is both a city and a metropolitan borough in South Yorkshire in the UK. The city takes its name from the picturesque River Sheaf that winds its way through the city. If you're looking for a flat to let in Sheffield, why not take a moment to learn about the city's rich and diverse history and attractions? Before you choose from several of the attractive flats to let in Sheffield available from The Letting Company, you should know that the region, which once has a largely industrial character, has reinvented itself and now has a stable, multifaceted economy. With a population in excess of 500,000, the city of Sheffield proper is one of the largest cities in the UK outside London. When the surrounding suburbs are factored in, the region has over 1.8 million residents. Whether you're looking for a flat to rent in Sheffield or a house to let in Sheffield from The Letting Company, this region is a good choice if you want to live in an area with plenty of green space. It's estimated that Sheffield and its environs have over 2 million trees, more than any other European city. The trees are scattered over 170 woodlands that cover about 11 square miles.

Nearly 65% of the residents live within 500 yards of a green space.

And although Sheffield has decidedly industrial roots, in the past it has been voted the "World's Cleanest Industrial City." So, much of our property to rent in Sheffield has an eclectic blend of urban and suburban characteristics. In fact, Sheffield celebrates its industrial roots in the Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet museum. Sheffield is also home to 2 universities, Hallam and Sheffield; this keeps many a Sheffield letting agent like The Letting Company busy finding flats to rent for students.
