“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.

Richard G”

As reported in Residential Landlord earlier this month, the number of tenants registered with Thornley Groves, Manchester’s leading Estate Agent, has increased 117 percent since the start of the year, propelling demand for rented property in the City Centre to an all time high.

This large pool of registered applicants is good news for the city’s rental market, which is currently in high demand ahead of the start of the new University academic year in September.

Demand also looks set to be given a further shot in the arm with the swelling of MediaCityUK, when the BBC finally relocates to the north in earnest later this year.

There is a common misconception about the Manchester property market that too many homes were built too quickly in the peak of the pre-economic crisis years. In fact the number of unoccupied Manchester apartments is relatively low, and even at the height of the downturn in 2008 the city never really struggled for demand for tenants.

As explained by Thornley Groves’ Managing Director, Michael Groves, it is the scarcity of these new developments – rather than a lack of consumer funds – that has caused an increase in demand for rented accommodation in Manchester City Centre in recent years.

“What the period of illiquidity did bring was a halt to new investment in the City Centre, with the real hangover of this being a lack of new development schemes and consequently new homes,” said Groves. “So while demand has grown organically thanks to the increasing affluence of the city and a strong network effect brought about by an influx of tenants seeking to live and work in the City Centre, the stock of available homes to cater for them has not grown at the same rate.”

“There is however, an attractive pool of existing stock available, and the current combination of high demand and affordable homes means that now is the perfect time to invest in the buy-to-let market in Manchester. An investment for example in a City Centre apartment valued at £100,000 could likely be rented out for around £700 a month, providing a total annual income of £8,400 and representing an 8.4% return on investment. This is obviously significantly higher than the 3% return that buy-to-let investors have become accustomed to in the area in recent years, making the current market look very appealing.”

If you are thinking of investing in buy-to-let property in Manchester City Centre, call Andrew Seldon, Associate Director responsible for Manchester City Centre operations for Thornley Groves – Manchester’s leading Estate Agents – on 0161 245 1100 or email manchester@thornleygroves.co.uk.

As the leading provider of property management services in Manchester for the private buy-to-let investor, Thornley Groves have a large team of property managers providing a full property management services to over 1,500 landlords.

This is designed to take away the headache of managing buy-to-let property and is ideal for new investors who are looking to move into the market. If you are interested in this service please contact us directly at http://www.thornleygroves.co.uk/valuation-request/.

Those familiar with the city of Manchester and its surrounding suburbs will know that the area has done much to achieve its growing status as the “Capital of the North” in recent years. Thornley Groves – Manchester’s leading Estate Agents – are well aware of the city’s increasing popularity and recently opened up a brand new state of the art office in the heart of the city centre to cope with this growing demand.

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!

Thornley Groves are  just days away from opening our ground breaking new office in Central Manchester and have already had vendors and landlords clambering to be amongst the first to take advantage of our brand new marketing initiative to make their property stand out from the crowd.

 “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.

 Make your property stand out from the crowd, list it now with Manchester’s most innovative and high Profile Estate Agent call 0161 245 1111 or  click www.thornleygroves.co.uk/valuation-request to book a FREE valuation and receive effective marketing advice.
