Manchester has a fast growing property scene, with ongoing developments not only in the city centre, but in the suburbs too. As the main city of the "Northern Powerhouse" there are lots of reasons to invest in Manchester. With a population making it the second most populous urban area in the UK and no sign of slowing down, there's a lot to be excited about by investing in Manchester.

We've been investing in Manchester for many years now. The properties in Manchester that are available from The Heaton Group are typically 1 & 2 Bedroom Apartments and HMO's although there are some examples of 3 bedroom apartments and other terraced properties in and around the outskirts.

Within this fantastic area, we've got several properties available, both HMO's and tenanted apartments.

Why Manchester?

The most popular apartments we find are those that offer good commuting distance to the city centre as well as offering a great lifestyle for the tenants. We do offer a number of buy-to-lets in Manchester for landlords, but we do often get requests from investors that are also looking to live in the properties. Below are some of the key reasons why Manchester is a great area to buy to let or buy to live in.

We have just completed a development in Manchester at Johnsons Square, so we continue this interest into this fantastic area with The Bank in Stretford, South Manchester alongside our current HMO's.

Capital gain is on the rise in manchester with properties getting fantastic yields for investors. With the continued redevelopment too, property prices are soaring and investors are getting involved.
