The south side of the centre has changed faster than anywhere else in the city. First Street, the towers along Great Jackson Street and the blocks around Oxford Road have added thousands of new homes, most with gyms, lounges and roof terraces that buyers now expect as standard.
When a building is that new, the competition is often the developer's own release, or a dozen similar flats from investors selling at the same time. Getting noticed means pricing sharply and presenting the home better than the rest.
Living here
HOME arts centre and the restaurants of First Street, the universities and hospitals along Oxford Road, and Deansgate and Oxford Road stations within walking distance. Hulme Park and the Bridgewater Canal are close by.
The homes
Predominantly new-build apartments in tall buildings with extensive shared amenities, alongside earlier developments around Hulme Street and Cambridge Street and a number of converted mills on the edge of Hulme.
Selling here
We know what developers are offering nearby and how a resale can compete on price, speed and certainty. Many owners here are investors, so we can sell with the tenant in place or time vacant possession to suit you.
Other areas we cover
