Dear Andrew,

We are recent tenants at Vicus Apartments in Manchester, having found this property through Thornley Groves.

We would like to pass on our appreciation of Amy Connelly, with whom we have recently dealt with. Amy has been very helpful throughout the process, maintaining regular contact when viewing properties, and subsequent to placing an offer. She is also very knowledgeable, capable of answering an array of queries in respect of the letting process, the property, and the city. Having only recently moved to Manchester, this proved invaluable.

Amy’s attitude to her clients is noteworthy. Given the motivation, Our experience of estate agents to date has been tainted by their transparent desire to ‘clinch’ a deal. Presumably, this is a motivation for all of your staff, however, we felt that the advice given by Amy was honest and sound, and also that the properties selected for our viewing were representative of our stated preferences.

We will have no hesitation in recommending Amy, and Thornley Groves to our colleagues, friends, and family. She is an asset to your business and we would be grateful if you would pass on our gratitude.

Kind regards

Ben and Zoe

There are clear signs of real activity in the Manchester City Centre property Market we listed a great 2 bed apartment in the MM2 development in Manchesters vibrant Northern Quarter and agreed a sale within a week for a figure close to the asking price!

With the news media focussing on repossessions and how sluggish the property market is, it’s refreshing to see that real people – owner occupiers – are able to sell their properties in the current market, and guess what, the buyers are also real people, not buy to let investors but individuals who are buying to own and occupy in the city centre.

There is no denying that prices have dropped from their peak in August 2007 but the market and prices have stabilised and we are now registering more buyers on our database looking to buy, own and occupy than at any time in the last 18 months, buyers know that prices have become more much more realistic and the great mortgage deals that are out there mean that buying a place in the city centre has never been more affordable.

The sale this week of the MM2 apartment in the Northern Quarter highlights the fact that if you have a property you want to sell in the city centre and are willing to be realistic on price, Thornley Groves have the buyers ready willing and able to buy!

The Northern Quarter – often referred to as the Greenwich village of Manchester is a fashionable and bohemian area of the city centre, which is crammed with places to eat and drink and has predominantly independent retailers, It has an arty almost eccentric feel to it and retains a sense of atmosphere – more than any other part of the city it feels like a village a residential area the breathes life both night and day.

Situated north of the Market Street and Arndale shopping areas, sandwiched between Piccadilly Station and the MEN Arena, there’s no better place to feel at home in the city.
