Manchester Apartments reports highest level of rental enquiries in its history

Enquiries are particularly high from China, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ

Manchester Apartments has reported the highest level of rental enquiries in its history

A Manchester residential agent has reported the highest level of rental enquiries in its history.

City centre-based Manchester Apartments said it received over 21,000 direct queries into its Oxford Road office during July, August and September – with over 10,000 in September alone.

The firm said the "huge number of enquiries" is a welcome statistic for Manchester, showing increasing demand for rental homes in the city centre.

As well as record numbers, the firm said enquiries are coming from a more varied location across the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ and world.

Enquiries from China are "particularly high" - as well as Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, London, the South East and South West of the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ.

Jonathan Griffiths, director at Manchester Apartments, said: “We do see an increase in enquiries during the summer months before the academic years begins, but the enquiries this year are not just from students.

"We’re speaking to a large number of young professionals who wish to make, or continue to call, Manchester their home. We feel this is a great reflection for the demand for city centre living; but do believe the housing stock required for these enquiries is still limited.”
