The Area
Home to MediaCityUK, the Lowry Theatre and the Manchester Imperial War Museum, Salford Quays is an area that has been cited for future growth, due to the vast amount of regeneration in the area since the BBC moved there in 2011. Attracting approx. 7 million visitors, at a value of around £479m, it is little wonder that Salford Quays is at the top of the list for residents seeking good quality properties, in a location that is accessible for both commuters and city centre workers alike. Built to a high standard and offering fully-furnished options, in addition to secure parking spaces, these high-end apartments are certain to generate a huge amount of interest from the local rental market.

The Investment
The demand for rental accommodation in the UK is the highest it has ever been, as the continued rise in house prices ensures that first time buyers cannot afford to take that first step onto the property ladder. Instead, tenants are looking for high-quality rental accommodation, in properties which they can essentially move straight into, without the hassle of waiting for it to be redecorated or repaired.


No investment can ever be considered safe, but there are certain sectors, like buy-to-let, where you can minimise your risk. Purchasing a buy-to-let property is once again being viewed as a way to generate a positive cash flow on your investment, as income is generated not only on rent, but from the capital appreciation gained on the property from the start. Manchester is one of the strongest rental markets outside of London, due to a severe shortage of new-build stock for at least the past five years.


Manchester was named in the 'Top 4 Buy-to-Let Hotspots' in the UK by HSBC in 2013Buy-to-let properties are increasingly becoming a more 'hands-off' investment than they have ever been, due to the improved quality of the lettings and management agencies that maintain the property. This leaves landlords confident that their tenants are being looked after and, coupled with the knowledge that there should be minimal maintenance required on the property for at least the first couple of years; off-plan buy-to-let is actually a cheaper option in the long-term for any savvy investor.
