Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 It seems these two empty office blocks are to be converted to apartments. Ugly rubbish from the 60s. Newtown House, on the corner of Friar Lane / Maid Marian Way And Newland House at the top end of Mount Street. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisB 150 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I noticed recently that an old office block on Spaniel Row off Friar Lane has been converted into apartments for students. There's certainly going to be plenty of inner-city living! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,120 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 All new and upcoming flats are made for students!! Rather annoying for the locals who are looking for a place to rent that doesn't require having at least 5 flat mates! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 We have a lot of students here too But the "University" is the biggest employer in Loughborough (about 7,000) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Student accomadation = NO council tax. Landlords = No business tax. Could be why Nottingham City Council have to hammer the motorist. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,507 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 # 13. We had a student house in Loughborough and so long as the house was occupied totally by students then there is no council tax to pay. However, we did pay tax on rental income. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Houses prices for the same sort of house depending how for from the university it is situated. My terraced three bed roomed house is worth about £100k one the other side of town is worth? £10-15k more Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 #13 I'm all for student flats being built as that frees up houses for locals to buy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Our 'student house' was a good investment ...... plus we didn't have to pay some other person to accommodate our sons whilst at Loughborough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 #17. But NOT business tax. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 By now it must be officially classed as an epidemic. The former nightclub on the former Gaumont site is becoming student flats. http://www.nottinghampost.com/pound-300-week-new-digs/story-28626966-detail/story.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OrphanAnnie 296 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I think they''re called apartments nowadays, so they cost more. Same as bedsits are now studio apartments!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
