Sell Your Home in Oldham

These are really old houses where the back wall touches another house behind it. You find loads of them in Chadderton and other old parts of Oldham.

They were built when Oldham had cotton mills everywhere and lots of workers needed cheap places to live. Most have really tiny rooms and narrow staircases.

The front door opens straight onto the pavement with no garden at all. Some have outdoor toilets in small backyards that haven’t been moved inside yet.

We buy back-to-back houses even if they still have outside toilets or need completely new bathrooms and kitchens inside.

These are lovely old stone houses in the pretty villages up in the hills around Oldham. Most are made from local stone and look really traditional.

They often have thick walls, small windows, and low ceilings because they’re so old. Many have nice gardens, and some even have fields or woods nearby.

Banks sometimes won’t lend money to them because they’re in remote places. We buy Saddleworth cottages even when they’re miles from shops, or other people can’t get mortgages.

These are newer houses built in the 1980s and 1990s in Shaw and the surrounding areas. Most were built for families who wanted more space than old terraced houses.

Each house usually has its own driveway and a proper garden front and back. The streets are wider, and there are often small parks and green areas.

We buy modern estate houses when people need to downsize. Or when families outgrow them and need something bigger somewhere else.

These are small apartments above the shops on Oldham’s main streets. They used to be storage rooms or offices, but were turned into places where people live.

Some are really noisy because of traffic and people shopping below. Others have problems with smells from takeaway shops or other businesses downstairs.

We buy shop flats even when there are noise problems or disputes with the shop owners about building repairs.

These are small terraced houses that were built for people who worked in Oldham’s cotton mills. Most are in Hollinwood and similar areas.

They’re quite small, but many have been extended or completely renovated inside. Some still have original features like fireplaces and high ceilings.

We buy mill worker houses, whether they’re still original or have been completely modernized. It doesn’t matter if they need lots of work or are already perfect.

These houses used to belong to Oldham Council, but people bought them over the years. Most got built in the 1960s and 1970s.

They’re usually built with brick and concrete and have decent-sized gardens. Some look a bit dated now and might need new kitchens or bathrooms.

We buy ex-council houses no matter what condition they’re in or how much work they need doing.

These houses are close to Boundary Park, where Oldham Athletic football team play their matches.

Match days can get quite busy with supporters parking in nearby streets and walking to the ground. Some houses get rented to students from local colleges.

We buy houses near the football ground, even with match day disruption or student tenants already living there.

Some of Oldham’s old cotton mills got turned into flats and apartments where people live now. They often have really unusual layouts with massive windows and high ceilings.

Mortgage companies sometimes say no because they’re not normal houses. The buildings might have old materials that need special cleaning or removal.

We buy mill conversion flats even when banks refuse to lend money for them or they have unusual building problems.

Some Oldham neighborhoods are getting money from the council to make them better. They might be building new community centers or improving the roads.

Nobody knows exactly how these changes will affect house prices in the future. There could be months of building work and disruption.

Other buyers get worried about all the uncertainty and noise from the improvement work. We buy houses in improvement areas even when nobody knows what will happen.
