O'Connor Bowden

General information

Established in 2003, O’Connor Bowden has grown from humble beginnings into one of Manchester’s foremost independent residential Property Agents.

The Company was founded by Alison O’Connor who, disillusioned by the poor service offered by local Estate Agents at the time, decided to form a Company to manage her own properties and those of a like-minded group of investors.

By never forgetting the ethos that was so important in the early days, the Company has become one of the largest and most successful Agents in the City.

We now have five offices with Departments specializing in Estate Agency, Sales, Lettings, Property Management, Investment Property and PRS Management.

Being true to our City Centre roots, O Connor Bowden operates a specialist Residential Property Team in the heart of Manchester City Centre, managing in excess of 1,000 apartments from three City Centre offices and providing an unrivalled “One Stop Shop for the Residential Investor Market”. We are one of the largest Agents in Manchester City Centre selling apartments for the home ownership, private and corporate investor markets. We manage hundreds of furnished apartments from studios to penthouses in some of Manchester’s most desirable and iconic buildings throughout the City.

We have dedicated Sales and Lettings Teams, stripped of administrative functions so all property negotiators can solely concentrate on marketing, advertising and promoting property for sale or to let. Maximum media, internet exposure, e-marketing and social media activities ensures our quality properties are always directed towards 1,000s of quality buyers and tenants each year.

Our professional "Property Management" Departments provide operational support on all routine daily compliance and management tasks relating to property and tenancy management. Each of our Property Portfolio Administrators manages a dedicated property portfolio to ensure continual support service to our Landlords and Tenants. By using the very best property sales and management software, operating to exacting quality control systems and delivering the highest levels of customer service, the property management and maintenance of all of our client’s properties is to the highest of standards.

Our Client Services Team provides effective communication to Landlords on all sales negotiations and progression and on letting, marketing and referencing processes. We also deliver comprehensive financial management support for all managed properties.

Corporate Lets are a major part of our business with 100’s of high spec apartments often let to companies and business executives.
We also offer Corporate Let service in the suburbs, with some of our exclusive and highly sought after executive homes throughout the South Manchester and Cheshire regions being available for company lets.

O’Connor Bowden Investment Property Services Departments are based in the centre of Manchester and at our Romiley office in Stockport. Headed by Directors Alison O’Connor and Stephen Bowden, we offer investment property and support services throughout the Northwest to individual and corporate investor clients.
