Knight Knox property firm launches 90th housing development for Wigan

Property consultancy, Knight Knox has launched its 90th development, Wallgate Apartments, set to be delivered by property developer Centric Developments.

Located in Wigan, Wallgate Apartments will contain 45 homes, including studios and one and two bedroom apartments.

Each apartment will come fully furnished with a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom suite. The development also benefits from allocated parking on select units.

Andy Phillips, commercial director at Knight Knox, said: “With property prices and rents in Manchester city centre on an upward trajectory, Greater Manchester offers investors the chance to invest in the UK’s most promising rental market at a fraction of the cost.

“We anticipate that areas such as Wigan will continue to become more popular alongside the growth of Manchester, mirroring the trend of commuter town price rises around London.”

Wallgate Apartments will be located on Miry Lane in the town, around half an hour from Manchester and Liverpool’s city centres by direct train.

Kieran Moore, director at Centric Developments, commented: “Wallgate Apartments is set to be an excellent addition to the growing commuter belt surrounding Manchester.

“The stylish apartments on offer will appeal to the great number of young professionals who are looking beyond the city centre for affordable and premium living.”

Construction is expected to commence in May 2018 and prices at Wallgate Apartments start from £79,995.
