The city has grown to be one of the largest build to rent locations outside of London with large clusters of sky scrapers seen around the city‘s skyline. Rental prices in manchester are set to grow by nearly 16.5% over the next years which is more than any other city in the UK.
There are some key reasons for this continued and sustained growth in rental demand/prices.

2. Rapidly growing population and economy. Manchesters‘ population is currently growing at twice the rate of the rest of the UK. 80/100 FTSE 100 top 100 companies are also located in Manchester including Amazon, BBC and Kellogg‘s helping to build and attract a growing talent pool in the city. Even post COVID-19 developers have submitted plans for more than 2.6 million square feet of office space showing extremely high confidence in the job market.
Current rental yields in Manchester are between 6-7%. The exact percentage differs depending on the number of rooms in the property. With a strong rental market and solid growth over the year, the figure could start to creep up as well.
