Deansgate & Spinningfields

This is the part of Manchester most visitors picture: the riverside buildings of Spinningfields, the shops of King Street and St Ann's Square, and the restaurants along Deansgate. Homes here are fewer than elsewhere in the centre, and buyers include people moving from London, owners trading up within the city and investors from much further afield.

That is a wide audience to reach and a demanding one to satisfy. High-floor apartments with views, concierge buildings and penthouses need presenting properly, and enquiries from overseas need someone who will pick up the phone at awkward hours.

Living here

Spinningfields has its own restaurants, bars and the riverside at Leftbank. King Street, Selfridges and the John Rylands Library are on the doorstep, as are the Opera House and Royal Exchange Theatre. Deansgate station and the tram connect to the rest of the city and the airport.

The homes

Apartments in riverside developments around Leftbank and Spinningfields, a scattering of converted commercial buildings in the business district, and some of the most prestigious addresses in the city.

Selling here

London, overseas and relocating buyers make up a large share of interest here, so we handle remote viewings and international enquiries as a matter of course. Floor plans with orientation, dusk photography and video where it earns its place: on a high floor, the view is half the price.
