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.

Property pundits have been proved wrong again with the completion of the sale of a home in Hale village, at a recordhigh pre-financial crisis price, by Thornley Groves, the leading Hale Estate Agent.

The Beech Road property, a beautiful terraced home in the heart of Hale village, was sold for £345,000 in less than a week of being placed on the market. The sale just beats the record high for properties on Beech Road set by Thornley Groves in 2007, prior to the period of mortgage illiquidity brought about by the financial crisis.

There was obviously no shortage of buyers for the house on Beech Road, with the leading Hale Estate agents arranging 5 viewings within the first 48 hours of it coming to the market.

Despite the recent period of property market adjustment in the U.K., there remains a strong interest in properties for

Beech Road Hale Kitchen

sale in Hale and Manchester property in general, as explained by Glyn Reacroft, Manager of the Hale branch of Thornley Groves Estate Agents:

“Thornley Groves maintains a strong list of registered purchasers – and with a flow of interest like that you are always going to be confident of strong sales,” said Reacroft. “However, the sale of the Beech Road property is unique in that it not only represents a return to the strong prices of the market high two years ago, but actually beats them. This is a very positive sign for the market.”

Properties for sale in Hale and indeed those across the entire U.K. market look set to be spurred even further with the abolition of Home Information Packs (HIPs). With this crucial move the bar to marketing your home has been lifted, which means that at last the Manchester property market can start to function normally again.

As Managing Director, Michael Groves, was recently quoted as saying in the Manchester Evening News, Thornley

beech road hale bathroom

Groves Estate Agents feels very strongly that this move has come at the right time for the industry.

Promising as signs such as these may be, the world economic downturn and subsequent lack of market liquidity have undoubtedly taken their toll on the UK housing market in recent years. Here at Thornley Groves we appreciate these concerns and remain more dedicated than ever to helping you sell your home swiftly and for the right price. Our dedication to this goal is confirmed by our client and former owner of the Beech Road property, Julie A. Watson:

“Selling a house within ten days of the For Sale board going up with snow on the ground in the depths of winter was no mean feat, but Thornley Groves did it,” said Watson. “Arranging twelve viewings within ten days with carefully selected people – no time wasters – was no mean feat, but Thornley Groves did it. Thornley Groves did it because from start to finish they were friendly, helpful, courteous & totally professional. Nothing was too much trouble and unlike other companies, where the odd member of staff makes the difference, everyone at Thornley Groves is a team player.”
