How much rent can landlords expect to achieve in Manchester?

• Manchester continues to see strong demand from professionals, students and relocating families.
• Prime areas such as Ancoats, Castlefield, Northern Quarter, Deansgate and Spinningfields attract premium rents.
• Larger homes and modern, high-spec apartments typically secure the highest monthly income.
• Transport links, furnishings, parking and building amenities all influence achievable rent.
• A professional rental valuation from Manlets gives the most accurate figure for your specific property.

The Manchester rental market has grown significantly over the past few years, driven by regeneration, strong employment and a fast-expanding city centre population. As a result, landlords can achieve competitive rents across most districts.

Typical examples include:

• 1-bedroom apartments: £900–£1,300 pcm across most areas, with city-centre developments achieving the upper end.
• 2-bedroom apartments: £1,200–£1,700 pcm, especially in newer builds with concierge, balconies or parking.
• 3-bedroom homes: £1,600–£2,400+ pcm depending on size, condition and suburb.

Location remains the biggest rent driver. Properties in Ancoats, Deansgate Square, New Islington and Castlefield typically achieve higher monthly income than more suburban areas such as Salford, Hulme, Didsbury or Fallowfield.
