Read around WA14. Rents are advertised rents; the sale price is the average of completed sales in the last twelve months.

Altrincham sits in Trafford, south west of the city centre, and rents here tend to run above the Greater Manchester average, reflecting the town's market town character and its strong transport links. Property is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, semi-detached houses on the residential streets around the town centre, and newer apartment blocks built as part of the area's town centre regeneration. Families and professionals are drawn to the mix of period and modern housing, along with the schools and the covered market.

Altrincham interchange gives direct Metrolink access into Manchester city centre and rail connections through to Manchester Piccadilly, which makes the area popular with people commuting into the city who want a quieter base outside it. The A56 and the M56 connect the town to the airport and to Cheshire, which adds appeal for tenants who need to travel for work rather than rely only on rail. This combination of tram, train and road links is a consistent draw for working tenants.

For a landlord, Altrincham's transport links and its range of family-sized housing tend to attract tenants who plan to stay for a reasonable length of time, from commuting professionals in the newer flats to families in the terraced and semi-detached streets. That mix can support steadier occupancy and fewer periods with a property standing empty between tenancies, particularly for well presented homes close to the interchange or the town centre. Altrincham Market, restored in recent years, and the covered market hall add to the town's appeal as a place people choose to settle in rather than simply pass through, which helps sustain interest from tenants looking for a base with genuine local character.

Finding your tenant

We manage, we do not let. When your property is empty we appoint one of the best letting agents in your area to find the tenant. Their fee is agreed with you in writing before anything starts, and Caso adds nothing to it. We brief the agent, approve the marketing, check every applicant's referencing, handle the move-in and protect the deposit. You deal with one company throughout.

  • Agent chosen on results, not on who we know
  • Fee agreed in writing before marketing starts
  • Caso takes nothing from the agent
