Manchester is consistently in the top 3 UK hot spots for investment. It has recently been voted the most desirable place to live in the UK and outperforms any other city in terms of both capital appreciation and rental yields.

The quality of life in Manchester is considered some of the highest in the UK due to job prospects, social scene, and ability to get to idyllic destinations such as the Peak District in just a few minutes pleasing both urbanites and nature lovers alike.

MANCHESTER IS A  HUB FOR BUSINESS
One of the reasons Manchester has performed so well and the reason for this growth is the level of investment in the job market – over 80% of the FTSE 100 companies now have a presence in Manchester, and 50 international banks, with an estimated GDV of over £50bn.

MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY
Manchester is home to some of the finest universities in the world, like the University of Manchester, which has one of the best graduate retention rates in the country at 51%. The city also has one of the largest student populations in all of Europe, highlighting that it is an attractive city to overseas students. More than 20,000 students graduate from Manchester and stay in the city centre due to strong job opportunities.
Manchester University is part of the elite Russel Group and has 25 Nobel Prize winners amongst its staff and students – only Cambridge and Oxford have more.

WELL CONNECTED NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY
Manchester is incredibly well-connected to local, national, and international destinations through an impressive infrastructure system. Manchester has 3 train stations to serve visitors and workers from outside of the city, but also visitors from other northern destinations such as Sheffield and Liverpool, along with international visitors from across the globe at Manchester International Airport – currently undergoing a £1bn expansion plan that will increase visitors to over 50m annually by 2024.
