leigh white Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I thought Canary Wharf was riddled with cranes in the 80s, the Manchester skyline will be outdoing them at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leigh white Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 More building on Chester Rd, it's amazing to see this city shooting up and Liverpool down the road is stagnant, anyway, it's cheaper for a pint in mickey mouse land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghana White Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 My mate lives in Hong Kong. They advertise the apartments over there as an investment for your pension years. Seems a bit fucked up when there's so many homeless families in Manc but it's foreign investment at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted May 6, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted May 6, 2019 I’m doing some work in a few of them. The majority of the funding is coming from Chinese investors, with a liberal sprinkling of Russian money there too. I saw one of the major guys getting out of a rather anonymous Merc down at the Oxygen tower site and it’s fair to say he commanded an awful lot of respect. the square mile or so of Manc city centre is a massive massive money laundering operation. Allegedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 You can't own property in China so they all invest in the big cities abroad. The brothers missus did some work for a firm working out of Sydney last year. Buy it rent it out to Chinese students or young professionals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Rent was £850pm by the time I moved out of Castlefield 4 years ago I dread to think what it's up to now round there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 2 bed, then its not much more TBH. Think there's a saturation of apartments in the city centre - which is possibly keeping some prices down. Maybe newer apartments command higher rent - not sure. Remember the Chinese buying full blocks of apartments and full floors - not just the odd one or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 1 bed, it was very nice but had no view to speak of, just overlooked other flats. Loved living down there it's a great scene on Castlefield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted May 6, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted May 6, 2019 There’s a massive demand for small apartments. The tower blocks are mainly 1 & 2 bed crash pad type places that will be empty at the weekends. Manchester is the 2nd city and way ahead of Birmingham these days.

Can only go from experience - but students tend to want to stay on after they've graduated and work in the city. I thought I read that Birmingham was the Venice of the UK!
