• Refurbishments — Tired or dated property bought below its finished value and improved before letting or sale.
• Buy to Let — Single-let residential property held for rental income and long-term ownership.

Local property considerations

Condition, tenure and licensing are where Oldham 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.
