The investment case
- £200k
- Homes from
- Up to 14%
- Gross short-let yield
- Short or long
- Let it either way
Croft View suits either strategy: a serviced short-let capturing strong visitor demand on the doorstep, or a dependable long-term let in one of Greater Manchester’s most consistently performing suburban markets.
Indicative only, up to around 14% gross on a serviced short-let basis, capturing visitor demand from TraffordCity, Old Trafford and MediaCityUK nearby. Serviced-let operation is subject to local licensing and regulation. Gross is before service charge, management, voids and tax; returns are not guaranteed and can fall as well as rise.
Yields are gross, annual rent before service charge, ground rent, management, voids, tax and finance, and are an illustrative market figure, not a forecast of your return. Property values and rental income can fall as well as rise; returns are not guaranteed and your capital is at risk.

Why this one
Not every off-plan development is the same
In off-plan, the real risk is who delivers the building and how the purchase is structured, not the postcode.
Croft View is a sensitive restoration of two 1881 villas in an established, consistently performing suburban market, not an unproven plot on the edge of town. It is brought forward by Newpark, an established developer.
We are closely involved in the scheme and run the sales ourselves, so from first enquiry to completion you deal with the principals, not a detached agent.

Location
At the centre of it
Croft View sits at the centre of Urmston, one of Greater Manchester’s most established and consistently performing suburban markets, in a prominent position on Crofts Bank Road.
It’s eight minutes’ walk to Urmston station and ten to Eden Square, with central Manchester fifteen minutes away by direct train. TraffordCity, Old Trafford and MediaCityUK are all a short drive.
And the area is being invested in. In February 2026 Trafford Council adopted the fifteen-year Urmston Plan, a 27-acre town-centre framework centred on Crofts Bank Road, while TraffordCity’s regeneration and the £450m Therme resort sit around ten minutes away.
