Key workers can get discounted sharing apartments for under £600 a month

Apartments offering discounts for key workers are now available in the city centre’s most desirable neighbourhood, including large sharing apartments costing under £600 a month.

The scheme is offering as much as 25% discount for key workers on its rentals at New Cross, situated at the intersection of  Ancoats and the Northern Quarter.

They will also have the opportunity to share large two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments with another key worker colleague.

The Poplin development features 144 rental flats, 35% of which will be reserved specifically for key workers and is supported by a Social Impact Fund. 

Key workers earning under a £40,000 salary threshold could potentially receive the higher discounts, with a typical £1,460 rent for a two bedroom flat being reduced to £1,180.

The two bedroom units come with two bathrooms, making them suitable for sharing and opening up the opportunity for key workers to enjoy the experience of city centre living.

If you earn £17,500-35,000 annually, you qualify for Poplin’s sharers scheme – giving you the opportunity to share a large two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, found on the intersection of Ancoats and the Northern Quarter, with another of your Key Worker colleagues, at a significantly discounted rent.

With rents starting at £1150, that’s potentially only £575 per month each, plus an additional 50% off your first month.

But of course, key workers don’t just have to share with other key worker colleagues if they choose not to – Poplin will adjust the discount accordingly.

The apartments have been designed by Northern Quarter interiors studio YOUTH, with the development featuring a resident’s lounge, a co-working space, bookable private dining room and tv lounge, an atrium space and a roof terrace – featuring 360 views of Manchester’s skyline.

Poplin’s apartments are pet-friendly and new residents are given a welcome box of eco-friendly treats and a discount card which provides discounts to its ‘Neighbourhood Heroes’ – local businesses that the scheme is partnered with.

As well as having staff on hand at all times, the apartment development also boasts an on-site maintenance team to help with everything from moving in to hanging pictures to repairs.
