Description
This opportunity is presented as a tenanted investment meaning you can generate an impressive return above 6% NET right from completion and this property is sure to make a fantastic addition to any investor’s portfolio. Media City could not be a better choice of location for savvy buy-to-let investors, being home to huge corporations such as the BBC, ITV and hundreds of other businesses there is always a huge demand for high quality accommodation such as X1 Media City.
Media City is one the best locations for young professional renters in the UK right now. Offering a host of shops, popular bars and restaurants within walking distance of this impressive development, as well as the Lowry Theatre and the Imperial War Museum North just minutes away. Residents will also have direct access to Manchester city centre via the Harbour City Metrolink tram stop, which is ideally positioned outside of the development.
It is no wonder that the population of Salford is booming, and apartment prices are growing at a similar pace. Property prices in Salford have skyrocketed over the last few years and industry experts anticipate that Greater Manchester will need at least 200,000 new homes by 2040 to meet anticipated economic and population growth, making now the perfect opportunity to invest.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
