Located in a peaceful part of Castlefield, one of the most sought after and convenient residential areas in the City Centre.

Rental values have increased dramatically in the last 18 months and with prices for properties of this kind having reduced to their current levels, yields have improved to levels not seen for many years.

For owner occupiers searching for a great buy with potential for capital growth in an established development where apartments always sell well, then look no further.

As such we strongly recommend you take a closer look.

New Tenants Claim Thornley Groves, Northern Quarter, are Head and Shoulders above other Manchester Lettings Agents.

If you’re a tenant looking to rent a flat, house or apartment in and around Manchester City Centre and you are not sure which rental agents to turn to, then read the letter we’ve received below from a satisfied tenant and call Thornley Groves on 0161 245 1111 now for a service you can trust:

“Dear Mr Groves

Re  104 T H

I wish to draw your attention to two of your members of staff at the Northern Quarter Branch, Lucy Raines and Daniel Castille.

We have recently moved into one of your properties and have dealt primarily with Lucy and Daniel. As first time tenants we were naturally apprehensive and we literally pestered both Lucy and Daniel for over two weeks! Yet still they remained professional and completely patient with us. They succeeded in achieving our desired moving in date and were totally accommodating in meeting with us to sign the contracts.

Lucy – Has been a real star! We have dealt with her on numerous occasions and the level of service she provided was unrivalled in comparison to other agents we have dealt with. She made the process as stress free as possible, and fun! Lucy made sure everything went through in time for us to move in, and her organisation ensured that there were no hurdles in our way.

Daniel – Again, he was worked really hard to ensure we moved in on the date we wanted. He responded to our questions and emails way beyond normal office hours. (10PM) This level of customer care was way beyond our expectations and was such a breath of fresh air! It saved us evenings of worrying and made sure the process was as enjoyable as possible.

It is worth mentioning that from the outset Thornley Groves were head and shoulders above other letting agents in Manchester, you showed up to viewings, were knowledgeable about your properties and the letting procedure and informed us of alternative apartments which may have suited our requirements. It may sound as if that is an obvious requirement of a letting agent but it certainly wasn’t the case in our experience, you were the only ones who did this!

Please pass on our thanks to both Lucy and Daniel, we are extremely grateful! We look forward to dealing with yourselves over the course of our tenancy.

I actually work within property recruitment and deal with lettings managers/surveyors/property lawyers all day, placing with a number of high profile and blue chip clients and I would not hesitate in putting him in front of any of them. Luckily for you guys I need him there so I wont be trying to nick him for my own clients!

Buy for a lower monthly Cost than renting without having to have tens of thousands of pounds of deposit saved.

In an exclusive deal with a leading Building Society, Manchester Estate Agents Thornley Groves have access to a substantial fund set aside specifically for First Time Buyers aged 25 years and older to be used on purchases of between £125,000 and £250,000.

Jason Watkin, Operations Director of Thornley Groves Estate Agents which has 8 offices across Manchester City Centre and South Manchester, including prime First Time Buyer territories such as Sale, Urmston, Salford, Altrincham and Manchester’s trendy Northern Quarter, confirmed that for the last few years First Time Buyers have been prevented from getting on to the housing ladder by the strict criteria adopted by most lenders where buyers need to have circa 25% saved as a deposit before lenders will even look at their application.

Jason commented that Sales volumes  in Manchester City Centre and the suburbs have picked up noticeably year on year, sales in the city centre are running at twice the level of this time last year, mainly due to a reduction in prices and the fact that the market has clearly stabilised, another factor is that the cost of renting has increased dramatically during the last year as fewer new build properties have been built and sold to investors and many tenants are choosing to renew their existing lease as they’ve been unable to buy, this creates a shortage of supply and has fuelled huge rises in rental values. Buying now, even after factoring in the prospect of interest rate rises is substantially cheaper than renting.

It’s easily possible to buy a property and pay less in mortgage payments than you would if you were renting the same property, the barrier until now was that most buyers didn’t have access to a £30k plus deposit, but now with this particular mortgage deal first time buyers with a deposit of just six or seven thousand pounds buyers can get on the ladder.

Anybody interested in learning more about this amazing opportunity to fund a property purchase for a lower monthly cost than renting  should in the first instance contact Chris Collins at Thornley Groves Chris.collins@thornleygroves.co.uk or 0161 905 0207

People are so often quick to complain and criticise but we also love to hear when our service has hit the mark, as in this instance:

“Hi Jonathan – we wanted to write to the Management of the Company to express our gratitude to Stacey for achieving the impossible for us and for the wonderful service we received from Thornley Groves.

After meeting with six estate agents, we knew we hadn’t found ‘our guy’ or ‘our gal’; the one person who would go that extra mile for us. We had a tight timeline to find the most wonderful flat we could afford in Manchester after arriving in the UK unexpectedly from Libya due to the war. We knew nobody and the only tool we had was a map of the city. When Stacey responded to our email she informed us of a property that suited all our needs so we met her at the building hoping to see something great after viewing two units that were disasters with another firm.

The first unit we viewed wasn’t suitable but while there she received calls from the office and set up two more viewings for us which was great because we were only in the city for the day. Immediately we were impressed by her proactive approach and realized we had found ‘our gal’. When her colleague showed up with a vehicle because it had started to rain we knew we wanted to rent a flat from Stacey and Thornley Groves. She was enthusiastic, explained everything clearly, solved some problems that arose and gave us time to discuss things since we were really rushed. Her efforts helped us find a beautiful place to live and a new beginning which we are truly grateful for.

We would certainly recommend Stacey and Thornley Groves to anyone looking for excellent service and product in the UK property market.”
