Location and transport
Trinity Way, M3. On the main artery between the city centre and Salford, with Deansgate and Spinningfields within walking distance.
What the building has
Gym, cinema room, private dining room and other shared spaces.
Tenant profile
Young professionals working in the city centre, and students. Manchester's central rental stock is tight and void periods are short.
The yield
The expected gross rental yield the developer states is 6%. This is a projection, not a guarantee; the yield you realise depends on the rental market, the service charge and void periods. A yield worked out without deducting the service charge misleads.
Total cost
On top of the apartment price come stamp duty, legal fees, the land registry fee and, for a buyer living abroad, additional verification fees. You can work out your own scenario in the capital.works purchase cost calculator.
Risks and what to watch for
The service charge estimate is £4.90 per sq ft, at the top of the band. Work out your net yield with that deducted.
