Providing and managing professional co-living space since 2008
At Ideal House Share, we have two core values. We provide young professionals with a better way to live & experience Manchester and we give landlords complete peace of mind by guaranteeing their rental income and the condition of their properties. These two missions drive everything we do.
It's not just about your new home,
we want to help you get the most out of life in Manchester. We aim to go above and beyond, not only with the quality of accommodation but also with the additional services we provide.
All of our properties
are in prime locations to cater for young professionals who appreciate greenery and space in conjunction with a vibrant restaurant and bar scene.
Our relationship doesn't end
once you've signed the tenancy agreement, as we're always happy to answer any queries you might have. We maintain all of our properties with our in house maintenance team and provide a regular cleaner..
We want to create house shares where
you not only have your new housemates to expand your social networks, but you have us too! We regularly host free social activities, ranging from small get-togethers to larger events, including renting out local venues to watch major sporting events with a free bar.
We regularly hold competitions
for both past and present tenants, with prizes varying from Deliveroo vouchers to sending a whole house to Barcelona. During lockdown, we held weekly bake-offs and quiz nights, which were praised by the national press.
