Property Pick of the Week 16/09/2020

The Bank Stretford, Greater Manchester

This development is primed for the Stamp Duty holiday for first time investors as they will be paying £0 Stamp Duty. If they already own a property they will be paying 3% (as outlined below).

Manchester’s population is growing rapidly, and faster than the national average. It also benefits from a large student population, with around 20,000 deciding to remain in Manchester after graduating each year.

Helped by this high proportion of graduates remaining after their studies, Manchester’s population is one of the youngest in the country, with around 60% living in the city aged between the 25 and 30.

The city centre population is forecast to grow by 125,000 by 2025, a number that will put severe pressure on the ability of the local authority and house builders to keep pace with demand for new homes.

Development Information

Originally known as Derby Hall, the building was home to a conservative club for many years until being repurposed as a retail unit to take advantage to the proximity of Stretford Mall. This building is believed to be one of the original historic buildings in Stretford town centre, and one of the few still in existence. Most recently the ground floor was a Bank, but the building has stood empty since their closure.

Secure cycle parking will be provided at ground floor level, with storage for ten bicycles provided. There will of course be dedicated space on the ground floor for the storage and removal of refuse and recycling material.
