Welcome to Manchester

There are few places anywhere in the UK that can match the local pride of the city of Manchester. This former textile powerhouse may have changed significantly over the years, but that sense of community spirit has never waned, even as the city transformed from the industrial era into one best known for its astonishing contributions to the world of art and culture.

Perhaps the most well known of Manchester’s incredible artistic legacy can be found in its music. The city has produced the likes of Oasis, The Stone Roses, The Smiths, Happy Mondays, The Chemical Brothers, Take That and more. But, if you somehow weren’t familiar with the city, it wouldn’t take too long for the stunning architecture to clue you in to the fact that this is a city with quite the creative spark.

However, Manchester is not content to rest on past achievements, with its cultural scene as vibrant as ever. Whether you’re looking to check out the best of the rising comedy scene at The Frog and Bucket, see the biggest bands in the world at the 02 Academy, enjoy world-renowned West End productions at Manchester Theatre House, catch a spot of jazz at Band on the Wall or check out any number of the incredible landmarks that make Manchester such a historically fascinating city, you definitely won’t be disappointed here.

Not only that, if you’d prefer to just enjoy a lazy afternoon, there’s plenty of great tranquil spots too, such as Fletcher Moss Park and Botanical Gardens where you can watch the day go by. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Manchester is so vast in the sheer scale and variety of things to see, do and experience, that we’ve barely scratched the surface of what’s on offer.

What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership is a government scheme that allows buyers to purchase a share in a property, usually between 10% and 75%, while paying a reduced market rent to a housing association on the remainder. The scheme gives first time buyers and those that do not currently own a home the opportunity to purchase a share in a new-build or resales property.

Success Stories

“A year after I moved in, I staircased to 75% and then purchased the final share, and now I own my home 100% outright. I really do recommend Shared Ownership as a fantastic way to get into the housing market.”
