Charter House

Hall & Co is a family business founded in 1998 by Roy and Jo Hall, starting out redeveloping a coastal building in Anglesey before scaling into one of the North West's most respected boutique developers. Now headquartered in Alderley Edge and led by the next generation of the Hall family, the company has built its reputation on thoughtful restoration, architectural quality and long-term partnerships with local councils. Hall & Co treats every home it builds as if it were one of their own, a philosophy that has underpinned their leading role in the transformation of Stockport's Underbanks.

• Stockport Station: 10 mins walk (National Rail)
• Stockport Bus Interchange & Park: 10 mins walk

Internationally recognised for its character - The Underbanks was declared a conservation area in 1974 and was recently awarded a £1.8m National Lottery heritage grant. It is very quickly becoming “The place to be”, filled with independents, restaurants, cafes & bars.

The real win is the lack of supply which is a result of the prevalence of grade listed buildings and strict planning rules within the conservation area, preventing construction taller than 4 stories. This means the future supply has a hard cap and it's less than 0.1% of that of Salford, media city etc.
