MediaCity brings affordable homes to Salford
As The BBC confirms its move to MediaCity in Salford, investors say that they are tooling up for renewed activity in the busy Manchester property market.
Salford was recently described as the fifth most desired address for middle-class househunters looking for an affordable home in Greater Manchester. This is in support of the City Councils desire to see “a fifth of all new homes to be affordable so that first-time buyers and key workers can get onto the property ladder”.
The most commonly built new homes are apartments, which are especially popular in central Salford, where the city rubs should shoulders with Manchester. The ongoing refurbishment of Salford’s transport infrastructure has made it a desirable area for commuters interested in working in and around the Manchester and Salford area.
With MediaCity as the cornerstone of Salford’s 20 year redevelopment plan investors are moving fast to secure early opportunities that will encourage both social and economical growth for Salford.
