Steel City Upgrades

“Hi, I’m Sarah Hills, the face behind Steel City Upgrades. I’m a Sheffield local with a passion for turning overlooked properties into money-makers—for me, for landlords, and for the city I love. I started this rent-to-rent business because I saw too many rentals sitting empty or stuck in the past, while landlords struggled with voids and upkeep. My idea? Rent those properties myself, roll up my sleeves (and my budget!), and transform them into modern, tenant-ready homes—all while guaranteeing landlords steady income.

I’ve always been hands-on—whether it’s spotting a diamond in the rough or knowing exactly what tenants want, like a fresh kitchen or a smart layout. Over the years, I’ve built a knack for property upgrades that don’t just look good but pay off fast. With Steel City Upgrades, I bring that drive to every project, backed by a small, sharp team who share my goal: making rentals work harder for everyone involved. From tired terraces to dated flats, we’re here to breathe new life into Sheffield’s housing, one smart upgrade at a time. Got a property that could use a boost? Let’s talk!”
