Counting on success in Oldham

As finance Director for a housebuilder Nuala Howard knows a good deal when she sees it, which is why she has snapped up a buy-to-let apartment at Redrow's Spinners Mews in Chadderton, near Oldham.

Nuala and her husband Neil already rent out a property and they are hoping that the newest addition to their portfolio will prove to be a fruitful investment.

The one-bedroom Abendare apartment with parking space is ideal to rent to a young professional who wants easy access to Oldham and the city of Manchester. Like all of the properties at Spinners Mews it has a stylish and contemporary exterior.

Nuala says: "As soon as I saw Spinners Mews I really liked it, all of the properties are quite funky and I thought that this particular property was a nice, well-laid out apartment, which offered good value for money."

Having worked in the housing industry for 10 years, Nuala says that she believes new properties are the best investment option, adding: "It's nice and new and clean and nobody else has lived in it, which is a big draw for tenants, and for the first couple of years you don't have to worry about having to carry out any repairs."

Spinners Mews is located off Fields New Road, and will eventually comprise 120 new homes, with a wide range of properties suitable for those starting out.

Nuala added: "It is quite a nice area, the development is well-laid out and it is not too far away from Oldham or the motorway network, while bus and rail links are also good, making it the ideal place to rent for young professionals who commute to work."

Chadderton offers a range of amenities while Spinners Mews also offers easy access to nearby Oldham and its shops, bars and restaurants, yet is close to open countryside and convenient for several parks. It also has the added bonus of being within easy reach of cosmopolitan Manchester and its many amenities.

A wide choice of one and two-bedroom apartments is currently available at Spinners Mews priced from £86,950. They include the Affric, at £99,950, an individual apartment with an integral garage, one bedroom and an open plan living / dining room. Two and three-bedroom houses are also available from £137,000 to £174,950.

The marketing suite is open at Spinners Mews every day from 10am to 5.30pm.
