  • What are the pros and cons of living in Manchester? Although Manchester might not be the first city that comes to mind when thinking about relocating to the United Kingdom, the city is rapidly developing into a popular destination for people from the United Kingdom as well as those from other countries who are looking to begin a new chapter in their lives.
    Living in a metropolis, just like living in any other city in the globe, comes with its share of benefits as well as drawbacks. The following is a list of some of the most important pros and cons with relocating to Manchester that should be considered before making a final choice.
    PROS:
    1. Rent is affordable
    In comparison to that of London, the price of living in Manchester is 32 percent lower. Rather of immediately purchasing a home in the neighborhood of their choice, many individuals first test the market by renting a home there. This is something to consider doing since the location could not be to your taste or live up to the standards you have set for it. Many people are able to live in a highly desired location that they otherwise may not be able to afford to live in because of the availability of rental housing in that location. And a growing number of individuals are coming to the realization that renting a house rather than purchasing a property may make more financial sense for them.
    Living in Manchester, there is a variety of housing available to suit the needs of expats looking for either a contemporary apartment in the heart of the city or a cozy family house in the surrounding suburbs. In recent years, Manchester has experienced an increase in the number of new property projects, which means that there is little question that new newcomers will find a home that is suited for them. This is because Manchester is trying to accommodate the city's rising population.
    Moving to Manchester will definitely provide you more house for your money than many areas in the south of England, and the city has a better work-life balance than the majority of other cities in the United Kingdom. Because the overall cost of living in Manchester is lower than in a lot of areas in the south, Manchester provides excellent value for money as a location for your new house because it is less expensive. Due to the neighborhood's high demand and limited supply, apartment rents in the Northern Quarter are often the highest in the city. Those who are ready to live farther out in the city and make use of the city's outstanding public transport networks will definitely save money on rent, which means they will have more money available in their budget to spend on other things, such as entertainment or other charges.
    2. Good public transport
    The public transportation while you’re living in Manchester is among the best in the country. In addition, there is a tram service that operates quite effectively and often, as well as a free shuttle bus that provides service to the retail center as well as the major rail terminals. The M60, M62, and M6 freeways can all be reached without any difficulty. There are four main railway stations in Manchester, which provide connections to every significant city within the UK. Additionally, the Manchester International Airport is located around 17 kilometers (12 miles) outside of the city.
    3. Lots of job opportunities
    If you have experience in a variety of fields, such as finance, law, biotechnology, or digital media, you will discover fantastic prospects if you want to work while living in Manchester. Manchester is a metropolitan region that is quite active, and because of this, you will find wonderful opportunities here. The work market in Manchester is also significantly less competitive than the job market in London, making Manchester the ideal location for people who are just starting out in their careers.

    Twenty years ago Ileft Didsbury, Manchester. Didsbury was regarded as the best area to live, not that you'd notice from the home and car insurance. Both cost more than Brixton in south London.
    Manchester is a dump. It is grey, wet, full of crime and drug gangs. The local council is a joke who employ people regardless of their ability to speak, write or even understand basic English. I had to deal with one such clown over housing benefit. She still got it wrong.
    This is the council where nearly everone in the housing benefit section is on the fiddle. There has been more than one prosecution and imprisonment for fraud.
    It was the happiest day of my life when I left and we hit the A6 south back to civilization and competence.
