Landlords in Salford Quays
The housing stock here is almost entirely modern apartments, many with waterside views, rather than traditional houses or terraces.
MediaCityUK, home to the BBC and ITV studios among other media and technology employers, sits at the centre of the Quays and brings a steady flow of professionals working in broadcasting, production and technology roles into the local rental market. The Salford Quays and MediaCityUK Metrolink stops give direct tram access into Manchester city centre and out to Eccles and Salford, and the Trafford Road corridor links the area to Trafford Park and the wider motorway network.
Salford Royal hospital is also within reach of the area, adding some hospital staff to the tenant mix alongside media professionals. For a landlord, the concentration of modern apartments and the presence of a large local employer in MediaCityUK tends to support demand from working professionals looking for flats close to the office, particularly those wanting to avoid a longer Metrolink or road commute into the city centre. The Lowry Outlet and Imperial War Museum North sit just across the water, giving tenants easy access to shopping and leisure without needing to travel into central Manchester, which continues to support demand for the newer apartment blocks around the basin, particularly among tenants who work irregular hours in broadcasting or production.
