Venice Court, Velvet Court and anywhere in Granby Village complex are nice.

Should have said- all these (which are adjoining blocks) also have the use of a swimming pool & gym for residents

So - I still haven't found this ideal room I am looking for, truth be told I'm a bit disheartened at the moment so am thinking about looking round apartments (flats/boxes for the cynics) in Manchester again.

Not long since I last asked but would I still be foolish to buy an apartment/flat in Manchester. Prices still going down?

I dont think 'going down' does justice to whats happening to prices of flats in the city centre

Buy if you want to then buy one of them. Or start burning money - both would have the same effect on your finances IMO.

Rent, and negotiate hard on the price is my advice

saadat khan - just been on the news. He's selling cheap houses that he's buying off developers.
79k for a flat in Blackley is still well dear though

Hi Raq - my boyf and I have just exchanged on an apartment in Castlefield, a great location in Manchester I am sure most people would agree :-) They are currently in the process of being built - due to finish Spring 2009 - which means we were in a strong position to negotiate a good price.

Most people will say you would be mad to buy a new build in Manchester City Centre at the moment but as long as you negotiate a good price and its a property you intend to enjoy for a good few years then I don't see the problem. These posters who think that 2 bed city centre apartments are going to be going for under 100k are deluded if you ask me - yes I would agree if you are buying a soul-less box in one of the cheaper builds they could be right but if you buy in the right development in the right area I don't think you can go wrong.

As for people suggesting Didsbury, Chorlton or wherever to someone who wants city centre living is crazy - the suburbs as nice as they are, most certainly do not compare to city centre living.

I am sure a lot of people are going to start telling me how wrong I am but this is my opinion, right or wrong it may be.

Buying an apartment is great if you don't want kids or don't want them in the next ten - twenty years.

For Manchester... I would say that Castlefield is by far without a doubt the most desireable area for city centre flats.

Are people seriously still buying these flats in Manchester?
