Read around OL1. Rents are advertised rents; the sale price is the average of completed sales in the last twelve months.
Oldham is a former mill town to the north east of Manchester, and rents here are among the more affordable in Greater Manchester, reflecting its distance from the city centre and its predominantly terraced housing stock. Much of the housing dates from the town's industrial past, with rows of terraces close to the town centre and semi-detached housing in the surrounding suburbs.
The Oldham Metrolink lines give tram access into Manchester city centre, while Oldham's rail and bus links connect the town to the wider borough and towards Rochdale and Manchester. The M60 is within reach for commuters who drive, and University Campus Oldham provides higher education courses locally, bringing some student demand alongside the town's more established resident population.
Families and long term local residents make up a large part of the tenant base in Oldham, alongside commuters using the Metrolink to reach jobs in Manchester. For a landlord, the combination of affordable terraced housing and a tram link into the city tends to support demand from tenants who prioritise lower rent over a short commute, and terraced housing suited to families is generally in steady demand across the town. Tommyfield Market and the town hall remain focal points for the town centre, and terraced streets within easy reach of these local amenities and the Metrolink tend to be the properties landlords find easiest to keep let. Oldham's parish church and its Victorian civic buildings give the town centre a sense of permanence that has outlasted the decline of the cotton mills that once dominated the local economy.

Finding your tenant
We manage, we do not let. When your property is empty we appoint one of the best letting agents in your area to find the tenant. Their fee is agreed with you in writing before anything starts, and Caso adds nothing to it. We brief the agent, approve the marketing, check every applicant's referencing, handle the move-in and protect the deposit. You deal with one company throughout.
- Agent chosen on results, not on who we know
- Fee agreed in writing before marketing starts
- Caso takes nothing from the agent
