There's more than £1 billion being invested in the Northern Powerhouse initiative and, along with more jobs, there is a need for more accommodation.

Alongside this, Manchester is also home to one of the UK's largest student populations - there are 85,000 students attending four universities - and they all need somewhere to live which is why properties for sale Manchester are being snapped-up.
What's more, around 50% of students decide to remain in the city, that's the highest retention of students after London, and they are boosting demand for rental properties.
Not only are people wanting to live in the revived city centre with young professionals and students leading the charge - around two in three properties in the centre of Manchester are homes to rent.
Rely on reputable Manchester letting agents
In addition, rents look set to rise by 3.5% every year until 2020 which means for investors wanting to exploit lucrative opportunities they will need to rely on reputable Manchester letting agents to help deliver quality tenants and collect rents.
In the suburbs there is strong demand in the well-known spots of Castlefields and Piccadilly and the Northern Quarter but there's also growing demand for other areas such as Northenden and Wythenshawe.
That's because both areas have some real property bargains available and are well connected by road and rail to the rest of the city, particularly to the booming jobs sector at Manchester Airport.
