A property app has reported that Manchester is now the most in-demand city for property investors, according to its internal data. The Property Buying Company states that 23% of investors using its app are searching for property in Manchester, compared to 18% who have set their preferences for London.

The data suggests that investors are increasingly looking beyond the capital for growth opportunities. This trend may be of interest to letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring shifts in investor demand and regional property activity.
