Established in 2003, O’Connor Bowden has grown from humble beginnings into one of Manchester’s foremost independent residential property agents. We regard ourselves to be “One Stop Shop for Manchester’s Residential Investor Market”.
The company was founded by Alison O’Connor who, disillusioned by the poor service offered by local estate agents at the time, decided to form a company to manage her own properties and those of a like-minded group of investors.
