Across the board we are seeing increased activity in the Manchester property market, which is showing signs of a return to liquidity after a difficult period experienced by the entire U.K. property market following the onset of the world recession in late 2007.

Thornley Groves maintains a large database of registered purchasers and this pool of applicants has increased by 13 percent during the past year alone. The number of sales stock available is also up 25 percent on this time last year, while perhaps most significantly of all, the number of sales stock under offer with Thornley Groves has increased 33 percent during the same period. In short, we are seeing huge increases in Manchester property market activity across the board – and this is of course fantastic news for home-sellers and purchasers alike!

Michael Groves, Managing Director of Thornley Groves Estate Agents in Manchester, said “All the evidence we are seeing points to a strong return to activity in the Manchester property market. While it is fair to say that one swallow does not a summer make, the combination of quantitative growth and qualitative performance indicators that we are seeing such as swift sales, seller-confidence, and increased property search activity, are positive signs. Home-sellers should certainly be more confident now of achieving sales in what is looking to be an increasingly buoyant market once again.”

In addition to growth in registered purchasers, sales stock available and stock under offer over the previous year, we have also seen a sharp increase in market interest in recent months, and our Open House events are attracting not only high attendance levels but also numerous offers being made for showcased properties on the day of these events.

All of this makes for an extremely positive and pro-active property market here in Manchester and the surrounding suburbs of Sale, Hale and Altrincham, and Thornley Groves is proud to be playing our part in helping find the right homes for you!

 “What exactly is it?” you ask, that will enable us to do things differently……..it’s a video wall over 3 meters tall and a meter wide that will play day and night to the thousands of passersby on John Dalton Street, one of Manchester City Centres busiest thoroughfares featuring the superb developments that exist in and around the city centre.

 Flat screen marketing for property has been around a long time; agents all over the world have used plasma screens to showcase their stock for some years now but we believe TGTV is entirely different and really lends itself to the type of residential property available to buy or rent in Manchester city centre.

 In the suburbs there are streets and streets of houses – Terraced, Semis, Detached, old and new, they’re all different and you need to see photos both inside and out to understand if you’re going to like them.

 In the City the buildings themselves are Brands and we want to showcase them and their unique features to open them up to all those people who pass them without ever understanding what they have to offer. What does the building itself stand for? What type of people live there?

 Manchester has some wonderful Iconic Developments, buildings like the Hacienda, Number One Deansgate, LeftBank and Beetham Tower standing proud alongside the Grand Old Dames of the city like Smithfield Buildings, Chepstow House, Century Buildings and Chorlton Mill.

 Trend setting schemes like Timber Wharf in Castlefield, Chips in Ancoats and Express Networks alongside the Northern Quarter have proved fertile enough to allow whole communities to spring up around them with shops, bars and leisure facilities.

 Our Video wall will enable us to show case the buildings and the unique facets of their little corner of town, it will help us to demonstrate why life in the city has attracted so many people, both young and old, escaping suburbia to enjoy all that the city has to offer.

 Buyers and Tenants want to express their personalities by the building they live in, they want to emulate the admirable, they want to be gregarious, sociable and hospitable and we can show them how to achieve all those things through the home they choose to live in.  

 Our new office won’t have A4 sheets of paper in the window with pictures of the same buildings with different kitchens featuring tea towels on ovens and bikes on balconies. We want to show Buyers and Tenants the best that Manchester has to offer, it is the buildings themselves and what’s around them that attracts people and not a photograph of someone else’s double bed.

 The best way to market City Centre property is to highlight the appealing features of the developments themselves instead of blandly describing the accommodation. At Thornley Groves we will achieve this by pulling together all of the property we market through our FOUR city centre offices and feature them on the big screen in our new office in John Dalton Street.

 If you own and want to rent or sell a property in one of Manchester’s Iconic Residential Developments, you need an agent that’s going to demonstrate to buyers and tenants why it’s great to live there, why you bought it, after all you thought about your decision long and hard, you made a choice and you now need an agent that understands Manchester Property to highlight those advantages to the next occupier.

After providing our landlords with honest and achievable advice on likely rental values and then providing our landlords with ongoing feedback, everything we do is designed to provide the best possible service to prospective tenants and ensure they find the accommodation they are looking for and fast.

Some letting agents try and claim that they have tenants that others don’t, in this day and age that’s simply not true the Internet has made sure of that.

Thornley Groves home rentals are featured on all of the major property portals including Rightmove, findaproperty, Globrix, Primelocation and Zoopla.

Tenants consider every property with every letting agent because they’re frightened of missing something, the biggest difference between letting agents is how the agent handles enquiries from tenants and that’s something every landlord should investigate before instructing a letting agent to market their property.

Do the agents you are considering have the resources, the knowledge and experience as well as the quality of staff that you want to rent your home?

Thornley Groves letting agents have a higher staff to property ratio than other agents, the team are uniformed, they know and understand their stock, they earn commission and they’re enthusiastic – they are our most important marketing tool and we choose them carefully.

We equip them with sophisticated criteria matching software, we allow them to go out and meet tenants to show them property, we don’t use part time viewing reps or rely on landlords to do all of the viewings – the more we interact with the tenant the better we’ll understand their needs.

We’re open all hours, all day every day until 9pm on a Wednesday and on a Sunday when many agents close we’re here all day – so that prospective tenants with busy lives can be taken care of.

Once you’ve let you may want to use the services of our property management department, it’s here to ensure that your tenant takes care of your property, pays the rent on time. Our property management department aims to eliminate the hassle that many landlords experience, you’ll be allocated your own property manager who’ll inspect your property during the rental, oversee any repairs and resolve any problems.

Your property manager will create inventories to ensure that the condition of your property and its contents is taken care of and nearing the end of the tenancy we’ll handle the renewal or the timely re marketing of your property to minimise any void periods, maximising the return on your investment.

You NEED a letting agent that understands tenants and how best to manage a property, 2000 landlords can’t be wrong.

A campaign to secure new rental stock has been launched on Key 103 Radio station and in the local press including The Sale and Altrincham Messenger and The Stretford and Urmston Messenger.

The campaign is designed to attract landlords by our commitment to obtain the highest possible rent in the market place but within a very short time frame in order to minimise the void periods that can so easily leave a landlord considerably out of pocket.

Our ability to quickly analyse the supply and demand ratios for each individual property has enabled us to secure dramatically increased rents for many properties. Rather than just renewing with the existing tenant for an easy life, we are encouraging landlords to remarket their property 2 months before the end of the existing tenancy at its new current market value in order to maximise the return.

Our proven track record in being able to harness the interest of fully referenced, reliable tenants using the latest criteria matching software and then complete the letting fast, without compromising the quality of the referencing or inventory process, has seen our client list of landlords, who allow us not only to let but also manage their properties, break through the 1,500 mark during the last 12 months.

You’ve invested in property – trust Thornley Groves Estate Agents to deliver your return.

If you have a property that is coming up for renewal soon, or one that is currently available to rent, talk to Thornley Groves.  You can list the property with more than one agent at no extra charge and pay only the agent that lets the property for you.
