Flat hunting in Manchester city centre continues to be a difficult task due to increased competition and soaring costs. In recent years more and more people have gravitated to renting in the city, either for work or to take advantage of the city lifestyle, which has caused demand to far outweigh supply.
As a result of this, rent costs in the city centre have now hit an all-time high, with prices going up by 15.6 percent in the last year alone. The average rent in Manchester is now £1,600 per month which has gone up from £944 six months ago, which is unaffordable for many.
It has now become very rare to see a rental home on the market for much less than this price, but a one-bed flat is now available for just £600 per month. Listed by Zoopla, the studio style apartment is the cheapest property you can currently rent in Manchester city centre and is perfect for those dreaming of a city lifestyle.
