The £1billion relocation exercise, set to complete in 2011, will see as many as 1,600 staff being relocated from London along with 800 from nearby BBC Manchester. The accommodation budgets will vary greatly as big name presenters make the move from London along with T.V. production staff.

Another factor is the upcoming 2012 Olympic Games. Well known for its football associations, being the home of Manchester City and Manchester United, and having hosted the XVII Commonwealth Games in 2002, Manchester looks set to attract more visitors in the near future as the Old Trafford football ground is set to play host to a number of events of the 2012 Olympics.

Leading up to the games and the BBC transfer, an increase in the cost of business accommodation and hotels is expected, due to the rise in demand. One solution to this impending price hike is to opt for a Manchester serviced apartment. This type of accommodation is ideal for those contractors who are trying a local area on for size or who are only required for the length of the event, be it the period of the games in the Summer 2012 or a short term contract at ...
... the BBC. Serviced apartments are also available throughout the city, from the Victorian warehouses of Piccadilly in the city centre, to the canal side developments of Salford Quays just north of the city centre.

Many of the famous landmarks in the city centre are residential blocks as Manchester has a very amenable planning department with a history of saying yes to contemporary structures rather than no. This is supplemented by a vast amount of warehouse conversions that occupy the now defunct industrial buildings. Serviced apartments in Manchester are fortunate to be housed in this variety of buildings and offer a unique and superior alternative to the bland hotel room, a prime example being the serviced apartments of Castlefield which are housed in an old dye works. These boast polished concrete walls, tall ceilings and large panelled windows. The interiors also reflect the industrial heritage of the property with industrial looking stainless steel kitchens and original wooden parquet floors that have been carefully refurbished. The Castlefield district also offers a host of contemporary apartment blocks that have been built in the last few years. These serviced apartments are located along the canals and close to the bustling bars and restaurants of the area.

It isn't just the distinctive nature of these serviced apartments that makes them an appropriate alternative to hotels. Many employees will spend prolonged periods of time here over the entire course of a contract. This is often a costly exercise if you consider a hotel stay of 3 weeks to a number of months, but Manchester serviced apartments offer both savings on the cost per night and on the inevitable restaurant, internet and laundry bills that you would pay if staying in a hotel.
