Salford’s skyline is currently dominated by a surge in high-density residential developments, yet a persistent supply-demand imbalance keeps competition fierce for premium units. Current m² Prices of £3650/m² indicate a city that has successfully decoupled from Manchester to become a primary destination in its own right.
