Location and transport
Talbot Rd, Trafford, Manchester M16 0PG. Old Trafford stadium and the cricket ground are close; the Metrolink links to the centre.
What the building has
The garden duplexes carry a service charge of £1.66 per sq ft, the lowest in the portfolio; the apartments are £3.05.
Tenant profile
Families and professionals looking for more floor area outside the centre.
The yield
The expected 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
Completion is the third quarter of 2028. The remaining stock is two bedroom apartments.
