Investment Properties in Manchester.

House prices in Manchester grew more than 11 times faster than those in London over the last 12 months according to the July 2025 Hometrack UK House Price Index.

In the future, the North West region that Manchester is at the heart of will see faster growth than anywhere else in the UK - Savills predicts overall property price inflation of 31.2% in the region by the end of 2029.

This is the perfect time to buy property in Manchester and take advantage of the upcoming capital appreciation – a benefit that is magnified when purchasing at a below-market off-plan rate.

Manchester is an economic powerhouse – a centre of industry not just in the UK, but for Europe as a whole. It is the heart of the Northern Powerhouse project, and Knight Frank recorded business growth of 41% in the five years up to 2024.

Figures from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority show the region has grown faster than the UK as a whole over the past decade. An average annual growth rate o 2.8% in that time compares favourably to London (1.1%) and the UK as a whole (1.3%). In particular, Manchester city centre is home to 10% of all employment in the region and its local economy is worth more than £6bn a year, employing more than 150,000 people.

With this in mind, it is no surprise that so many people are moving to the city centre, desperate to buy homes in one of the most dynamic places in Europe.

Huge organisations like Amazon, BT, GCHQ and Google have a significant presence in Manchester, and the highly-skilled jobs they create makes Manchester the UK’s number one city for affluent technology workers.

According to the latest annual report from Tech Nation, investment into Manchester’s technology sector increased by 277% in just one year – making Manchester by far the fastest-growing tech cluster in Europe. As with the business sector, this incredible growth is attracting a new generation of highly-skilled workers who see their futures in Manchester. All of these people need homes, and apartments in key areas of the city centre are the preferred option – causing house prices to go up due to the increased demand.
