Overview
The Development
Willow Court is a modern eight storey new build of 119 high specification studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments on Ford Lane, Salford. Completed in late 2025 and delivered by the Mellior Group with funding from Maslow Capital, the scheme was designed to meet demand in one of Greater Manchester's fastest improving districts, between Manchester city centre and MediaCityUK. Apartments are finished to a high standard, with an average price per square foot that remains highly competitive for both Salford and Manchester.
The development is formally approved for short term lets, a rarity that gives owners the flexibility to target higher yields while retaining the security of strong long let demand from students, academics and young professionals. Willow Court sits 0.7 miles from the University of Salford and close to the £2.5bn Crescent Salford Masterplan, which will deliver over 3,000 new homes and major transport improvements. With 999 year leases, peppercorn ground rent and deliberately low service charges, it is structured to protect investor returns for the long term.
Highlights
- • Formally approved for short term lets, with yields of up to 9% achievable
- • 0.7 miles from the University of Salford and its 20,000 plus students
- • Adjacent to the 252 acre, £2.5bn Crescent Salford Masterplan regeneration
- • 1.5 miles from MediaCityUK, where a £750m Phase 2 expansion is under way
- • Delivered by Mellior Group, with over £250m of completed schemes across the Northwest
