From what can only be described as literally a whole new city rapidly developing on Manchester’s historic waterfront, MediaCityUK in Salford Quays will be a vibrant waterside community of workers, residents, students and visitors. In total, the three buildings at Quays Point will include over 46,000 square metres of office and retail space, plus hundreds of new luxury residential apartments.<BR><BR>Granite Lettings have been contacted by a number of landlords / investors that have purchased several buy to let properties down at MediaCityUK. We are very excited to have an impressive selection of high specification studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments that will available to rent very soon. All of the apartments will be fully-connected to MediaCityUK’s technical infrastructure, covering telephony, high speed internet access, email and personal website hosting, IT services and hi-definition video services on demand.

The Northern Quarter is also dotted with dozens of creative agencies, art galleries and quirky retailers which helps create a unique mix of great personalities, character and charm.<BR><BR>In addition, the Northern Quarter which is situated just between Piccadilly and the Market Street side of town, is fast becoming one of the most desirable places to live in Manchester City Centre amongst prospective tenants and homebuyers. Here at Granite Lettings we have noticed a significant rise in rental prices and confirm that it is one of the only areas of the city centre where rental prices hold their own. Since opening our Northern Quarter office in November 2008 we have quickly become the chosen letting agent in the area with a wide variety of properties to rent and sell in the district.

In fact, most rent defaults are due to an inability to pay when circumstances change, rather than a refusal to pay. Reasons can include unavoidable situations like redundancy, relationship breakdown or long term sickness. Obviously as landlord you may be sympathetic but you still need the rent to pay your mortgage. If the worst does happen then this obviously means loss of income for you, you may also have to pay the cost of any court fees during the eviction period, bailiff costs if a tenant fails to vacate plus any other legal fees.<BR><BR>Rent guarantee is designed to protect you and your investment by ensuring the rent is paid even if the tenant goes into arrears. <BR><BR>If you instruct Granite Lettings to ‘manage’ your property we will provide Rental Guarantee with every tenancy at NO EXTRA COST. <BR><BR>This means if the worst does happen and your tenant does happen to default on their monthly rent payment not only will the case be dealt with by specialist in-house legal claims team, we will also cover any legal costs incurred whilst evicting the tenant as a result of non-payment of rent (up to a maximum £25,000).

This will come as great news for those first time buyers looking to get their foot on the property ladder that are finding it difficult to accumulate a 15% or 30 % deposit.Thu, 13 May 2010 12:00:00 GMThttp://www.granitelettings.co.uk/newsdetails.aspx?ID=1011http://www.granitelettings.co.uk/newsdetails.aspx?ID=1015...Just visit our website on your iPhone, Blackberry or Smartphone and you’ll be presented with an new optimised "app" version of our property pages that`s quick and easy to use.
