flights from Manchester are a big plus for me as this is my nearest airport and i hate having to change at heathrow etc. it is possible i would be looking to stay there for 2-3 months of year in a couple of years time so direct flights are important to me.

i know it is not the cheapest place to get to from uk but as pointed out a lot of people who holiday there are from usa and southern america . For this reason i would be putting it in hands of rental management team who advertise in these sort of areas as well.

property prices there do seem cheap at moment
