The difference between Manchester and other growing cities in the UK is a lot easier to name than one might think. It\u2019s the city\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

Simply put, Manchester\u2019s power to innovate itself repeatedly has made it popular. And strong.<\/p>\n

In a time where stable asset classes are difficult to find and, simultaneously, investment opportunities are plenty but not very predictable, Manchester is beating the odds. It\u2019s offering investor\u2019s everything they\u2019re looking for:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The great reinvention of Manchester<\/a>
\n\u2022
Where to buy now for the biggest house price growth<\/a>
\n\u2022 The North offers better opportunities, for everyone
\n\u2022
Manchester set to lead the UK property market for 10 years<\/a><\/p>\n

Manchester is sprawling. Everywhere. Taking a little walk around the city \u2013 whether that\u2019s in real life or virtual reality \u2013 you can sense the ongoing expansion everywhere:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Metrolink:<\/strong> Manchester\u2019s tramline joins Salford Quays at one end of the centre with the Etihad Campus at the other end whilst also linking popular urbanisations like Altrincham, Didsbury, Chorlton and East Manchester<\/p>\n

\u2022 Victoria Station:<\/strong> the regeneration of one of Manchester\u2019s main stations finished in 2015, saw a \u00a344m investment and, now, serves more than 500 trains daily<\/p>\n

\u2022 Ordsall Chord:<\/strong> the new connection is going to be built between Manchester\u2019s three main train stations, reducing the travel times within the centre as well as to and from other Northern cities<\/p>\n

\u2022 City Centre extension:<\/strong> Manchester\u2019s urban centre is spreading; it now extends to Castlefield on the one side and Ancoats on the other, whilst Spnningfields creates a connection between city and Salford<\/p>\n

With house prices going through the roof in London and less people able to afford to live there, it only seems like a natural process for other cities in the UK to become more attractive to renters and investors alike. Manchester managed to nurture that growing attraction, it managed to get ahead of other cities:<\/p>\n

\u2022 MediaCityUK:<\/strong> with big companies like the BBC and ITV moving substantial parts of their business up North, Manchester is expected to gain an additional 110,000 jobs by 2024<\/p>\n

\u2022 Fastest population growth:<\/strong> in 2011 Manchester was named the second biggest city in the UK with 2.55m inhabitants and is also the fastest growing UK city with a rise in population of 19%<\/p>\n

\u2022 Londoners come:<\/strong> last year alone, 68,000 Londoners left the capital to move up North, the majority explained their move with better living standards and named Manchester as their future address<\/p>\n

And if none of the above has convinced you yet that Manchester is the one place to invest, maybe it\u2019ll help to find out who else has already done it:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Chinese President Xi Jinping comes to visit Manchester<\/a>
\n\u2022
The North welcomes you, China<\/a>
\n\u2022 Hong Kong has big plans for Manchester<\/p>\n
