Manchester commercial property is several markets in one metro. The city core, with its grade A offices around Spinningfields, St Peter's Square and First Street, serves professional services and tech firms. Salford Quays and MediaCity draw media and digital occupiers.
Trafford Park is one of the largest industrial areas in the country and sits on the M60 and M62 network that logistics users want.
Airport City and Wythenshawe suit firms wanting airport and motorway access, and in Bolton, Rochdale and Oldham newer logistics parks compete on cost. Most occupiers use an agent and specialist listing sites such as EG Propertylink, Realla and CoStar.
Many commercial agents are RICS regulated, and landlords expect energy certificates and lease terms to be handled properly.
