Manchester Lettings Market Moves Faster in 2026

Manchester’s lettings market has become more competitive, with homes being let more quickly than a year ago. According to the latest Manchester market report from Rentaroof, the average rental property spent 21 days on the market during the second quarter of 2026, compared with 24 days during the same period last year.

This trend comes despite ongoing rent rises in the city. The findings highlight continued strong demand for rental properties in Manchester, which may be of interest to letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring market activity.
