Northern Group

Northern Group does more than connect landlords and tenants: its work also includes developing and managing buildings within its own portfolio. Based in Ancoats, the company handles residential and commercial lettings, property management, sales, and new-build projects in Manchester. That model helps explain why some of its properties combine homes, offices, and shared areas instead of treating each building as a stand-alone transaction.

Its recent history can be read in Ancoats itself. Jactin House, built in 1903, was restored and converted into flexible offices; Ice Plant, a former industrial building, went through a renovation the company identifies as one of the milestones in the regeneration of Cutting Room Square. At Flint Glass Wharf, beside the canal, the development combines apartments with ground-floor retail. One Silk Street adds homes alongside several floors of flexible workspace. The portfolio brings the reuse of industrial buildings together with new construction.

For renters, the group lists one-, two-, and three-bedroom or larger homes in Ancoats, New Islington, Manchester city center, Old Trafford, and Salford, as well as offices with meeting rooms, reception services, and shared areas. For property owners, it offers tenant sourcing and management, along with support for the day-to-day responsibilities of a rental property. Availability changes frequently, making a current listing check an essential part of the search. The office is in Jactin House, in the same neighborhood where the company is involved in reshaping the urban landscape.
