Local property considerations

Condition, tenure and licensing are where Macclesfield purchases most often come unstuck. Older stock can carry damp, roofing and electrical work that is not obvious from photographs; leasehold flats bring service charge and ground rent obligations; and any shared accommodation needs the local authority's licensing and planning position checked before an offer, not after.
