Areas we cover
City centre (M1, M3, M4)
Manchester’s central postcodes are dominated by modern apartment developments popular with young professionals and graduates. Two-bedroom city-centre apartments averaged £1,469 per month, up 4.2% year on year (Knight Knox Manchester Rental Market Guide, 2026).
Salford and Salford Quays
Salford offers strong value while remaining minutes from the city centre, with average rents around £1,132 per month across Salford (Knight Knox, 2026), supported by MediaCityUK and excellent Metrolink connections.
Ancoats and Miles Platting
Ancoats’ converted mills and new apartment schemes attract professionals wanting city-centre living without the busiest streets, with two-bedroom rents typically £1,200 to £1,600 per month. Miles Platting offers slightly better value with the same easy access to the Northern Quarter.
Hulme, Ardwick, Gorton, Cheetham Hill and Old Trafford
These neighbourhoods appeal to renters wanting easy access to the city centre, universities and hospitals without paying premium prices, with steady demand for well-maintained two and three-bedroom homes.
Landlords and the Renters’ Rights Act
Led by Lettings Manager James Woolley, our team brings maintenance fully in-house so landlords and tenants deal with familiar faces throughout the tenancy.
The Renters’ Rights Act, in force since May 2026, includes:
- Abolition of Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions
- Conversion of fixed-term tenancies to rolling periodic contracts
- Rent increase limits via Section 13 notices
- A tenant’s right to request to keep a pet, which landlords cannot unreasonably refuse
- A mandatory Government Information Sheet for all landlords
The Renters’ Rights Act has reshaped tenancies across Manchester, and staying compliant is central to how we manage every property.
