“Cheadle forms part of the Greater Manchester conurbation and is located 8 miles south of Manchester City Centre and 3 miles west of Stockport. Cheadle, together with its neighbour Cheadle Hulme, have a resident population in excess of 40,000.”
Manchester has the second largest urban population and the largest business centre outside London. As such it is recognised as the financial and administrative capital of the North West. It is located approximately 34 miles east of Liverpool, 44 miles west of Leeds, 87 miles north of Birmingham and 207 miles north-west of central London.
The City benefits from an excellent transport infrastructure, with the M60 orbital motorway connecting directly with the M56, M67 and M62 motorways. In addition, both the M56 and M62 subsequently link with the M6 motorway. As a consequence, approximately 60% of the UK’s population is within a two hour drive time.

Over the course of the past 24 months the out of town o�ce market has seen a marked enhancement with tenant and investor appetite continuing to improve. As the economy has recovered, vacancy rates in the sub market have slowly decreased, assisted further by the rapidly increasing rents in Manchester City Centre, together with the complete lack of speculative development within the south Manchester o�ce sector. Permitted development and change of use strategies have further eroded the available supply.
As it stands, capital values for out of town o�ces are still often below the cost of construction and this is before a developer has been able to source adequate land with relevant permissions and in situ infrastructure.
In terms of rental values, across the majority of schemes in the south Manchester market, the amount of rent free incentives o�ered has reduced significantly whilst the lack of options for occupiers have put an upward pressure on rents. The following comparable schemes
provide an indication of the positive sentiment within the market and suggest strong reversionary and rental growth potential at Hercules (average rent of £13.45 per sq ft).
ASSET MANAGEMENT POTENTIALIn addition to improving upon the undoubted low passing rental tone of the estate and regearing the WNS Global Services Ltd demise, the amenity space at the front of the estate o�ers possible future development potential.
Totaling 0.45 acres, the area is designated as a Bowling Green and was part of the planning obligation when the Business Park was granted planning and subsequently developed. Subject to the necessary negotiations with the local planning authorities, due to the proximity to Bird Hall Lane, there is the potential to develop on part of the site for a range of uses including, convenience retail, nursery or additional business space purposes.
