The number of tenants looking for rental property in Manchester City Centre with Thornley Groves reached an all time high this month, providing further evidence that the Manchester property market is returning to full swing.

The number of tenants registered with Thornley Groves – Manchester’s leading Estate Agents – has increased 117 percent since the start of the year, propelling demand for rented property in the city centre to an all time high.

These figures follow two recent reports from Thornley Groves indicating that sales activity across Manchester has also increased significantly this year.

The number of people looking for rented accommodation in the city centre traditionally increases in July, driven in large part by the influx of university students into the area ahead of the new academic year.

Significantly however, numbers are up more than 50 percent on July 2009, having reached their highest peak in recorded history. We really are seeing more people than ever before looking for Manchester lettings!

This increase will come as welcome news for the Manchester property industry, and represents a superb opportunity for investors looking to enter the buy-to-let market. There remains a shortage of new investment in buy-to-let stock following the period of illiquidity brought about by the on-set of the world recession in late 2008.

With such high current interest in the Manchester property market amongst tenants, we believe that the current window offers the perfect opportunity for new investors to enjoy a high return.

With the recent opening of our new state of the art office on John Dalton Street, Thornley Groves is expanding alongside the market to cope with growing demand. We now operate 4 offices across Manchester city centre, employing 40 sales & lettings consultants and maintaining a higher staff to property ratio than other agents.

In addition to lettings and sales, we also pride ourselves on being the best managing agents in Manchester, providing dedicated property management in Manchester City Centre and the surrounding suburbs we operate in.

Depressed residential property market?

Manchester City Centre Estate Agent Bucks the Trend. 

Thornley Groves Estate Agents have recently completed one of its fastest transactions, from the property being listed for sale  to the sale being completed it took just 19 days.

We were instructed to sell the property on Granby Row near Whitworth Street on the 2^nd December and within 13 days had agreed a sale, the buyer completed the transaction on 21st December.

Demand is high in the city centre, especially for properties under £200,000. We fear that negative media reports are still preventing property owners from listing their property as they are convinced the market is quiet and sales are difficult to achieve.

In December a traditionallyslow month we sold a property in the City Centre every other day proving that is a strong demand in a recovering market.

Thornley Groves have a large number of “able to proceed buyers” many of them having registered with us in the first few weeks of the new year and they’re waiting for us to call them about the latest new instructions.

All this at a time when many commentators are saying the Manchester City Centre property Market is over supplied with the few buyers that are around unable to obtain mortgage finance, none of which could be further from the truth !

Maybe its our pro active selling techniques, maybe its the fact that we have 3 City centre Manchester offices open 7 days a week handling Home Sales, Property Rentals and Property Management or maybe its because we have some of the busiest and most dynamic Estate Agents in Manchester but what ever the reason for our very own Linx Effect – we know we NEED more property to sell.
