In the modern era, it is fair to say that student accommodation plays a huge role in the UK property market. Students are looking for affordable and suitable accommodation and this creates demand, which means that many people see student accommodation as a great way to bring in rental income. Given the amount of students in and around the Greater Manchester area, more than 100,000 students, there is a need to consider this market when looking at the Greater Manchester property market.
At Spencer Harvey, we are specialists in the Stockport property market and the Greater Manchester property market. This means we understand the importance of the student market and we believe that Stockport has a role to play in meeting demand for rental accommodation. There are very strong transport links between Stockport and the heart of Manchester, and not every student wants to live in the heart of a big city. With this in mind, there is a lot to be said for what Stockport has to offer the student market in Greater Manchester.
