From what can only be described as literally a whole new city rapidly developing on Manchester's historic waterfront, MediaCityUK in Salford Quays will be a vibrant waterside community of workers, residents, students and visitors. In total, the three buildings at Quays Point will include over 46,000 square metres  of office and retail space, plus hundreds of new luxury residential apartments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granite Lettings have been contacted by a number of landlords / investors that have purchased several buy to let properties down at MediaCityUK. We are very excited to have an impressive selection of high specification studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments that will available to rent very soon.  All of the apartments will be fully-connected to MediaCityUK's technical infrastructure, covering telephony, high speed internet access, email and personal website hosting, IT services and hi-definition video services on demand. Prices will probably start at around £550 per month, but you will have to be very quick, watch this space!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salford Urban Regeneration Company, Peel Holdings and Salford City Council are the guys actually behind MediaCityUK, their vision is to develop a completely bespoke environment, designed around the specific needs of the creative and digital industries; somewhere like-minded people can develop content and find new ways of working. The BBC have already pretty much re-located to the area which has already seen the migration of over 2300  jobs up to the city from their London base, in addition thousands of new jobs have been created which off the back of this has seen the demand for property in the area go through the roof! &lt;br /&gt;</description><pubDate>Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>https://www.granitelettings.com/Media-City-Uk-Granite-Lettings-Touch-Base-nw-1005.htm</guid></item><item><title>Manchester`s Northern Quarter</title><link>https://www.granitelettings.com/Manchester's-Northern-Quarter-nw-1006.htm</link><description>Described by many as Manchester`s equivalent to Greenwich Village, the bohemian Northern Quarter is literally packed with places to eat and drink with small independent bars and restaurants springing up all over which offer something different to the more commonly found ‘chain' establishments found elsewhere in the City. The Northern Quarter is also dotted with dozens of creative agencies, art galleries and quirky retailers which helps create a unique mix of great personalities, character and charm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, the Northern Quarter which is situated just between Piccadilly and the Market Street side of town, is fast becoming one of the most desirable places to live in Manchester City Centre amongst prospective tenants and homebuyers. Here at Granite Lettings we have noticed a significant rise in rental prices and confirm that it is one of the only areas of the city centre where rental prices hold their own. Since opening our Northern Quarter office in November 2008 we have quickly become the chosen letting agent in the area with a wide variety of properties to rent and sell in the district. Type ‘Letting Agent Northern Quarter' into Google and see who comes up top of the list!&lt;br /&gt;</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>https://www.granitelettings.com/Manchester's-Northern-Quarter-nw-1006.htm</guid></item><item><title>Property Prices Increased Most In North West</title><link>https://www.granitelettings.com/Property-Prices-Increased-Most-In-North-West-nw-1012.htm</link><description>According to leading online estate agency portal Rightmove.co.uk, the average asking prices in the North West housing market were up by 4.6% in the past month, Rightmove.co.uk said average asking prices in the region rose from £162,674 in February this year to £170,194 in March 2010.

Currently home to popular residential developments such as Abito, Spectrum and Tempus, this scheme will give the area the required facelift that it’s been crying out for. £4.8m has been secured from the Northwest Development Agency which will now push the plans forward with designs to deliver over 110,000sqm of office space and around 1,100 new residential apartments!</description><pubDate>Wed, 14 Apr 2010 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>https://www.granitelettings.com/Greengate-Embankment-Finally-Gets-The-All-Clear!-nw-1007.htm</guid></item><item><title>Bupa Great Manchester Run 2010</title><link>https://www.granitelettings.com/Bupa-Great-Manchester-Run-2010-nw-1003.htm</link><description>The Bupa Great Manchester Run is the UK`s fastest growing 10K run, now with over 33,000 runners taking part this fantastic event takes place on Sunday 16th may 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The team at Granite will be taking part and raising money for Christies.

In fact, most rent defaults are due to an inability to pay when circumstances change, rather than a refusal to pay. Reasons can include unavoidable situations like redundancy, relationship breakdown or long term sickness. Obviously as landlord you may be sympathetic but you still need the rent to pay your mortgage. If the worst does happen then this obviously means loss of income for you, you may also have to pay the cost of any court fees during the eviction period, bailiff costs if a tenant fails to vacate plus any other legal fees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rent guarantee is designed to protect you and your investment by ensuring the rent is paid even if the tenant goes into arrears. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you instruct Granite Lettings to ‘manage' your property we will provide Rental Guarantee with every tenancy at NO EXTRA COST. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This means if the worst does happen and your tenant does happen to default on their monthly rent payment not only will the case be dealt with by specialist in-house legal claims team, we will also cover any legal costs incurred whilst evicting the tenant as a result of non-payment of rent (up to a maximum £25,000). The process is quick and simple and you won't have to lift a finger, we do all the work for you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information feel free to contact a member of the team on 0161 236 6088&lt;br /&gt;</description><pubDate>Mon, 26 Apr 2010 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>https://www.granitelettings.com/Free-Rental-Guarantee-For-Landlords!-nw-1009.htm</guid></item><item><title>1% Sales Commission - No Sale...No Fee!</title><link>https://www.granitelettings.com/1-Sales-Commission-No-Sale-No-Fee!-nw-1008.htm</link><description>We currently have a superb offer available to all new landlords / home owners.

This two-year fixed-rate deal trumps the deal launched by the Co-operative and Britannia by a good half percent, although this will probably not be seen as competition for the big two it will hopefully coax other lenders into the market. This will come as great news for those first time buyers looking to get their foot on the property ladder that are finding it difficult to accumulate a 15% or 30 % deposit.</description><pubDate>Thu, 13 May 2010 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>https://www.granitelettings.com/First-Time-Buyers-Given-Mortgage-Boost-nw-1011.htm</guid></item><item><title>Do You Have An Iphone, Blackberry Or Smart Phone...</title><link>https://www.granitelettings.com/Do-You-Have-An-Iphone-Blackberry-Or-Smart-Phone-nw-1015.htm</link><description>...Just visit our website on your iPhone, Blackberry or Smartphone and you'll be presented with an new optimised "app" version of our property pages that`s quick and easy to use.

Judges of the 2011 Great Neighbourhood of the Year award praised the Northern Quarter for undergoing ‘significant redevelopment and diversification' in recent years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They said the area had become a ‘vibrant home' to a mix of fashion designers, creative agencies, art galleries and popular bars and restaurants. The area - home to the iconic Afflecks Palace – is known for its cosmopolitan mix of shops and apartments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest award was given by the Academy of Urbanism, whose members include top architects, planners, engineers, developers and designers. They aim to recognise the best, most enduring or most improved urban environments in the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judges were impressed by the Northern Quarter's charm after a visit over the summer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Thompson, chairman of the Academy of Urbanism, said: `Thanks to a long-term programme of development and regeneration, the Northern Quarter has become a vibrant contemporary extension to Manchester city centre, while retaining its own character. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;`The Academy of Urbanism created these awards to recognise places which have helped enhance local quality of life – the Northern Quarter is a wonderful example of this.`&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other winners included Glasgow for European City of the Year and Hebden Bridge for Great Town of the Year.&lt;br /&gt;</description><pubDate>Tue, 30 Nov 2010 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>https://www.granitelettings.com/Northern-Quarter-Awarded-'Best-Neighbourhood-In-Britain'-nw-1017.htm</guid></item></channel></rss>
