Even amidst the current epidemic and market turmoil, UK property is still one of the strongest and most stable asset classes. Assembling a number of favourable factors - the falling pound sterling, current stamp duty holiday and the latest BNO passport visa provisions - it might now be an opportune time for Hongkongers to enter the UK property market.
As one of the most active residential markets in the UK, Manchester, widely regarded as the heart of the ‘powerhouse’ of the North, offers exceptional opportunities for property investors to diversify their portfolios and achieve strong returns. Named by various news articles as the best UK city to live in, Greater Manchester features a population of approximately 2.8 million people.
Lendlease’s Potato Wharf is an exceptional choice of high-quality homes in a central city location, Castlefield M3. Paying tribute to the city, the project name, Potato Wharf, is derived from the city’s history. In the 1830s, before the railway was built, potatoes had been transported to Manchester via the canal and unloaded from the barges.
Potato Wharf
Bounded by public gardens and communal green space, homes at Potato Wharf boast the spectacular views of the canal and the Manchester city skyline. Considered extremely rare in Manchester, each of the Potato Wharf’s apartments comes with allocated private parking and plenty of cycle spaces available. Residents also benefit from a private terrace or balcony when purchasing one of these apartments, a private getaway overlooking the surrounding waterways.
An incredibly well connected new development in the city, Potato Wharf is in close proximity to the Deansgate-Castlefield Metrolink stop, from which residents can reach Manchester Piccadilly train station in 11 minutes and then a 2-hour and 32-minute train ride to London.
The development is also a mere 10-minute walk from Spinningfields, the Central Business District of Manchester, which is home to major financial institutions such as HSBC UK, Barclays and The Bank of New York Mellon. It is also the ultimate hangout destination with a line-up of exquisite eateries, bars, department stores and independent shops.
The Castlefield district is renowned for its village atmosphere and boasts museums, galleries and cultural sites, including the Museum of Science and Industry, as well as the Castlefield Urban
Heritage Park.
Lendlease has been selected to be the contractor for the City’s £330 million Town Hall regeneration to refurbish and partially restore the Grade-1 listed architecture. Lendlease is also the developer of the successful Elephant Park project at Elephant & Castle, renowned globally for the placemaking and residential developments, as well as designing homes with the finest specifications and finishes.
Kingston Lai, Founder & CEO of Asia Bankers Club, enthuses, “we are excited to announce our exclusive partnership with the international developer, Lendlease, to release the final phase of Potato Wharf in Manchester. With the influx of buyers from Hong Kong into Manchester, we are delighted to present one of the most exciting and established developments on offer.”
