Student and professional lettings in Manchester city centre.
Manchester city centre is the area inside the inner ring road, with Ancoats just to the north-east. It has four railway stations, Metrolink stops and the Piccadilly Gardens bus station. Oxford Road and the University of Manchester are a short walk or bus ride south.
Living here
The Northern Quarter, centred on Oldham Street, is known for independent shops, cafés and bars, and some of its old warehouses have been converted into flats. Next door, Ancoats is a former mill district that has been regenerated since the 1990s. Market Street and Deansgate are the main shopping streets, with the Arndale shopping centre, and Castlefield, in the south-west corner, has waterside bars and pubs.
Getting to uni
Oxford Street runs south from St Peter's Square and becomes Oxford Road, passing Manchester Metropolitan University's All Saints campus and the University of Manchester. The 15, 43 and 143 buses take about 10 minutes from Piccadilly Gardens to the University of Manchester, and the 147 runs from Piccadilly station along Oxford Road. On foot, the campus is a 10 to 15-minute walk from Oxford Road station.
Good to know
The city centre has four railway stations, Piccadilly, Victoria, Oxford Road and Deansgate, and Metrolink stops including St Peter's Square, Piccadilly Gardens and Shudehill. Part of the M3 postcode, around Blackfriars, Greengate and Trinity, is across the River Irwell in Salford, so it comes under Salford City Council rather than Manchester City Council.

HMO management in Manchester city centre.
Own a shared house or HMO in Manchester city centre? It's one of the areas we cover from our office on Dickenson Road. We find and reference the tenants, collect the rent, handle repairs and keep the licence and safety certificates in date. Or we do just the part you want help with.
HMOs here are licensed by Manchester City Council. A house let to five or more people who form two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence, and some streets are also covered by selective licensing. Since 2011, turning a family home into a shared house anywhere in Manchester has needed planning permission (an Article 4 direction). We can apply for the licence and keep it in date.
