Sylvia, 3Towers
3Towers on the edge of Manchester city centre have been redesigned and recladded into affordable homes, now available to rent, for sale and through Shared Ownership. Sylvia is the last of the 3 Towers and the spacious apartments have floor to ceiling glazing, secure parking and private landscaped gardens.
Working with architects Union North, Urban Splash have created 186 new homes out of three 1960's tower blocks, situated in the Irk Valley in East Manchester. The towers are named after the Pankhurst family, Emmeline, Christabel and Sylvia. One and two bed spacious apartments are available with floor to ceiling windows and great views overlooking Manchester city centre or the green and leafy Irk Valley.
The towers are in the fringe of the city. Just a ten minute walk from the Northern Quarter and slap bang in the middle of the Irk Valley, a green and leafy space that no-one in Manchester knows about. Peace and quiet next to people and light.
There are many ways to live at 3Towers and working together with the HCA we can now offer you the opportunity to rent while you save for a deposit (through Rent to HomeBuy) or even buy your own Funky & Affordable home through shared ownership.
Same funky apartment with everything you would expect from an Urban Splash home ?.but more affordable if you can't quite manage to buy outright just yet.
Am I eligible?
The good news is that it's available to a really broad audience, the main criteria being that:

- You currently own no other properties
I want to rent now while I save for a deposit
If you're not quite ready to buy, you can rent your home for up to five years through the Rent to HomeBuy scheme at 80% of market rent, allowing you to save for your deposit whilst you enjoy living in your home. You can move into home ownership at any point during the five year period.
Shared ownership now available in Manchester city centre
Shared ownership is a government backed initiative funded by the Homes and Communities Agency, to help you get your foot on the housing ladder. It allows you to purchase an affordable share in your own home, ranging from 25% - 75%, with the option to buy additional shares in the future taking you into 100% outright ownership.
