Sale completed: Moorfield Road, West Didsbury
In-vest has completed the sale of a 14-apartment residential investment on Moorfield Road in the West Didsbury area of Manchester, achieving £2,000,000. The detached block comprises 10 studio apartments, two one-bedroom apartments and two three-bedroom apartments, with off-road parking and communal gardens, and sits around half a mile from Burton Road tram station.
The building was fully let at the point of sale, producing a rent roll of approximately £125,000 a year, with scope identified to grow income towards an estimated rental value in the region of £140,000 a year. The freehold asset was brought to market by In-vest as a residential investment opportunity with potential to increase returns.

The firm has attracted praise from investor clients for its handling of PBSA disposals. Guy Sherrington of Centurion thanked In-vest for its guidance on pricing and marketing strategy following the sale of the Beechwood House PBSA asset in Manchester, adding that the firm’s advice helped secure a successful completion.
“We appreciated your industry guidance on pricing and a successful marketing strategy to complete the sale.”
