Artifex is a great development you can be proud to call home. The site is made up of 108 one and two-bedroom apartments on Blackfriars Road, Salford. The good location and the chance to one day own make Artifex a popular option for many. Artifex offers a unique opportunity to enjoy city living while saving for a deposit through the rent-to-buy scheme.

Situated in an area of Salford known as Blackfriars, its superb location offers residents the perfect spot for city living with everything on your doorstep. Recent years have seen huge regeneration in residential, commercial and office property developments within Salford. Artifex is also a short distance from Manchester City Centre and its great retail, nightlife and leisure.


With the Rent to Buy Scheme, you can move into your new home now on a 12-month Assured Tenancy Agreement (changing to a periodic agreement after), renting the
property for two years. During this time, you'll pay a reduced rent of 20% of the full open market rent value. (Amount advertised)

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

* You're able to move into your new home and save towards purchasing the property
* You'll pay a reduced rent on the property - 20 % less than the market rent
* You can settle into your new surroundings with the confidence of knowing that you'll be able to buy the home you're renting.
* The expectation (although not obligation) is that this short hold period of paying less rent gives you the chance to save to go towards a deposit so you can purchase the property in Summer 2026. This is checked every year.

For these, the minimum sole/joint income for the Two-bedroom apartments is £32,025 per annum.
