Manchester

The UK's #1 property investment location

Manchester is one of the UK’s best property investment locations, with world-famous culture, outstanding lifestyle and convenient connectivity to the rest of the country and the world, making it a great place to live.

Billions of pounds of investment, a booming economy, a world-class university sector, and thousands of highly desirable jobs make it somewhere people move for work.

A growing population, low construction rates and a lack of available housing - especially luxury city centre properties available housing - make it the ideal place to invest. Whether you are a first-time investor or want to add to an existing portfolio, Manchester has everything you ever need.

Manchester economy

Manchester is an economic powerhouse and unquestionably one of the UK’s strongest success stories. The city is growing fast thanks to a new modern economic revolution that puts it at the forefront of the fastest-growing sectors in the world.

The city’s regional economy is worth more than £87bn, and new analysis from EY shows that it will keep growing at a rate of 2.2% per year until 2027. That is much faster than the national average of 1.9%.

The city’s GDP per capita increased by 44% in the last Census period, from £35,739 to £51,330. This is the largest increase of any major UK city. The number of businesses in Manchester grew from 17,000 to 23,500, and the number of people employed in the city went from 350,000 to 426,000 over the same period.

"Manchester has seen a remarkable change in recent decades. But we are clear that there’s more work to do to ensure that everyone in our city gets the benefits of Manchester’s economic growth."

Cllr Bev Craig, Manchester City Council Leader

Manchester’s regeneration

Manchester’s transformation can be best seen by looking at its major regeneration areas. They are changing Manchester’s skyline and upgrading its ambition at the same time.

With almost 30,000 more people coming to live and work in Manchester by the end of the decade, these regeneration areas will be where the future is built in the city. It is also where property investors have a big opportunity to invest now and reap the rewards for years to come.

Major regeneration projects include Victoria North, NOMA, MediaCityUK, Great Ducie Street and First Street.
