The kind of houses we buy in Oldham

Oldham holds two housing markets that barely touch, separated by a few miles of moor road.

The town and its ring — Glodwick, Werneth, Coppice, Hollinwood — is dense terraced stock built for the mills, much of it stone-fronted, much of it still in its original footprint. Values here are among the lowest in Greater Manchester. A high proportion is rented, and landlord sales are a regular part of what we see: small portfolios, single houses bought at auction years ago, properties where the rent no longer covers what needs doing.

Terraces needing work are the defining case in Oldham. Roof, rewire, damp, sometimes all three. The arithmetic that pushes people towards us is simple: the work costs more than the increase in value it would produce, so doing it first is throwing money away. We buy as-is and you spend nothing.

Royton, Shaw and Chadderton are the more suburban middle — interwar and postwar semis, estates, gardens. A normal market most of the time, so what reaches us here is usually a deadline rather than a defect.

Saddleworth is a different world: Uppermill, Delph, Dobcross, Diggle. Stone cottages and converted weavers’ houses in Pennine villages, values far above the rest of the borough, and a market that can be slow simply because the buyer pool is small and specific.

Failsworth sits on the Manchester boundary and trades partly as a Manchester suburb, with the mix of terraces and semis that implies.

Why people in Oldham sell to us

Every situation below has a page of its own. None of them is unusual, and none of them needs explaining twice.

• A probate property — often empty, often needing work, often held between several people
• Mortgage arrears or a repossession date
• A divorce or separation where the house has to be dealt with before anything else can be
• A rental with tenants still in it
• A chain that has collapsed
• A house that will not sell however long it sits on the market
