Good news!

Plan B have exchanged contracts today! We're planning to complete on the 27th August.


We have been in touch with the current owners for some months now and have negotiated the deal over numerous bottles of wine and cups of tea - It's been very nice not having to deal with middle man estate agents! They currently have mutual tenancy ownership of the house and have been living in it communally for some thirty years now. Having decided to sell up this year, they got in touch with us through a friend and asked us to come and look at the house knowing we would fall in love with it straight away. We did and now we're here!

It is a large Victorian semi detached house with a (massive!) garden backing on to Birchfields Park. It's been lovingly cared for as a communal house for the past thirty years so is perfect for a new co-op to move straight into... there is already a huge shelf full of hippy tea. So we hope we can look after it for another thirty years and that it provides us with as good a space for communal living as it has for its present occupiers.


There is a basement space that is currently used as an office and has a separate entrance from the front garden. We hope to offer this space to groups and projects who struggle to find space to use in Manchester - we know from bitter experience that affordable safe space in Manchester is a rarity. We welcome thoughts about how we make best use of the space.


Love Plan B
