Seen it in Leeds 10 years ago - plans for huge towers, some got built, most didn't, lots last huge deposits buying off-plan, too risky, it's not finished yet but the end isn't far off.
Ask yourself what's more likely. Prices spiralling upwards and beyond, staying as they are, or crashing? Bear in mind that the Boom and Bust cycle continues, one of the great mysteries of capitalistic economies.
More than I'd thought - the Metrolink needs serious improvement first and the dependency on city centre routes must be circumvented too. For those Londoners not aware of what it's like, it would be like all tube lines having to go through Oxford Circus or Tottenham Court Road; if part of that central section goes down, the whole service is thrown into chaos.

Could it be something to do with the BBC moving from London to Manchester?
All those overpaid Beeboids snapping up properties for themselves and BTLs?
edit: Bolton, a short way down the road from Manchester, is about the only place where property prices have reduced slightly over the last two or three years. So that looks ripe for a good property investment.
I was in Bolton today it's a bit of a dump now but when they have sorted the m60/m62 in that area will be a good commuter town.
