Lettings Services

Welcome

At the turn of the century, Manchester’s City Centre rental market was a very different marketplace than it is today. Apart from the comparatively small number of apartments available, there were very few Letting Agents specialising in City Living, with apartments for rent often promoted ineffectively by suburban estate agents. Disillusioned with poor results and service, in 2003, Alison O’Connor launched a lettings agency with a strong emphasis on the Internet and corporate marketing. Whilst the City Living market remains quite unique when compared with the mainstream market, O’Connor Bowden has now grown into one of Manchester City Centre’s foremost independent Letting Agents. We have a dedicated Lettings Team, stripped of unnecessary administrative duties, so our team can solely focus on letting your City Centre apartment. Maximum media exposure, and internet and social media advertising ensure 1,000’s of quality tenancy enquiries are received each year from professionals and corporate tenants. We let and manage hundreds of City Centre apartments from studios to penthouses, many in Manchester’s most desirable Developments. Corporate lettings have always been a major part of our business high-specified apartments are often let to companies and business executives. Invest in the heart of Manchester with O’Connor Bowden, the City living specialist: “The One-Stop-Shop” for City living in Manchester.

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.

By never forgetting the ethos that was so important in the early days, that company has become one of the largest and most successful Agents in the City. O’Connor Bowden operates a specialist residential property team in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter with departments specializing in Sales; Lettings; Corporate Lets; Property Management; Investment Property, Furnishings, and Building Management. We manage hundreds of City Centre apartments in some of Manchester’s most desirable and iconic buildings throughout the City.
