Manchester’s Home Market is Affordable

Posted 2008-02-13

Manchester has a lot to offer its residents: affordable housing in a city centre with everything one would expect from city living. Exactly how affordable? Real estate provider Savills states that first-time home buyers can find plenty of options for around £100,000, while living in the city centre.
Savills residential investment consultant, Tom Rogers, explains that in Manchester, “There is a lot on offer. The market is going through a little blip at the moment but as far as property prices go, I think they are quite fairly priced in Manchester. A one-bedroom apartment is still quite affordable and that’s city centre living .You wouldn’t get that in London.”
Further extolling Manchester’s pluses, Mr. Rogers continues that Manchester has grown “significantly” in the past few years and is “still growing.” This observation is corroborated by Manchester’s website, manchesterfacts.com, which states that Manchester will commit £4.9 billion to construction projects over the next ten years.
