Manchester’s most connected agent: How Thornley Groves partnership with KFH benefits you

We’re excited to announce a major milestone, Thornley Groves is now a sister company to Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward (KFH), one of London’s most trusted and established estate agencies. This partnership opens up a powerful new channel for our clients: direct access to thousands of motivated London buyers.

Why does this matter?

If you’re selling in Manchester, there’s one buyer pool you can’t afford to ignore: Londoners.

The migration from the capital to the North West has grown steadily over the last decade and now it’s booming. According to Reach PLC the pull of Manchester's social scene, excellent education and Northern charm is drawing more city movers than ever before. Manchester isn't just a weekend escape anymore, it’s where London comes to live.

Did you know?

• Over 10,000 people moved from London to Manchester in 2023.
• Buyer budgets from London are often higher, meaning better sales outcomes for vendors.
• The trend is only accelerating as hybrid working makes location more flexible than ever.

What our partnership with KFH means for you

KFH operates over 60 offices across London, serving thousands of active buyers every year. Through our new relationship, Thornley Groves can now directly market Manchester properties like yours to London buyers.  

This connection:

• Amplifies your listing’s reach by placing it directly in front of high-intent buyers in the capital.
• Shortens time on market with a more efficient buyer-vendor match.
• Potentially increases sale prices, with London demand often pushing up offers.
• Helps you benefit from a joined-up selling strategy, with teams in both cities working together seamlessly.

With KFH now in our corner, Thornley Groves/Julian Wadden is your route in to this expanding buyer base. We understand the lifestyle, the motivations and the market making us uniquely positioned to turn that into results for you.
