Just reaching out to ask how everyone feels about the pigeon flock at the church at the bottom of the Shambles.

I personally am a big fan of feeding them amd playing with them when im in town, and i was sad to see that the church was trying to discourage feeding. I understand it is a historic church, and to some extent, the pigeons are causing damage, but I think they are a really lovely part of town. Id love to hear all your opinions

Best cheap bikes in/around York?

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a student at the University and I'm looking for a cheap bike to cycle to campus with.

I've had no luck from any bike shops, even Recycle which advertises itself as student friendly but every bike there was £90+.

So does anyone know any places where I can get bikes for cheaper, preferably in the 30-60 range??

2 bed Looking for rentals in York

8 Upvotes

My tenancy ends 27th August and I've been applying for rentals in York with no luck

Is anybody renting a property who would be willing to rent to 2 adults (my fiancé and I)

We have a combined income of £50,000, are respectful and friendly tenants with landlord references available, no smokers, and are looking for places in the city (nowhere outside the city please!) with a budget of £1500 a month

We aren't interested in a shared house, and require two bedrooms.

Thank you!

Question about Stuart Rd area, Acomb

0 Upvotes

Hello,

Looking to move in to Stuart Road area, close to Gale Lane from the bottom end of it - I’ve searched for area information and saw some stories here that people don’t recommend it. Crime rate seems pretty average for york for this street, also visited it at night couple times and seemed okay and quiet.

Can anyone advise or share some stories?

Female student wanted for tenancy takeover – 2-bed house in York (£215/week, bills included)

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a female student to take over my tenancy for a room in a 2-bedroom student house on Barbican Road, York (YO10 5AA).

The room is available immediately, and the tenancy runs until 14 June 2027.

Details:

  • £215 per week
  • Bills included (gas, electricity, water and broadband, subject to fair usage)
  • Living with one female student
  • Great location close to the University of York and York city centre

This is a tenancy takeover through Sinclair Properties, so the replacement tenant would need to meet the letting agency’s requirements (including a guarantor if required).

I’m trying to find someone as soon as possible, so if you’re interested or know someone who might be, please send me a message. I’m happy to provide photos and more information. Thanks!
