Mortgage Broker

Stretford, the part of Greater Manchester that is home to both Manchester United football club and Lancashire County Cricket club is currently enjoying a bit of a facelift. The well know A56 Chester Road that runs from Sale through to the city centre is being repaired and the local Stretford shopping centre is also being beautified.

With 3 bedroom terraced houses now selling for upwards of £200,000 (see https://www.onthemarket.com/for-sale/property/stretford/), many people are looking to buy a house in this area. Mortgage brokers are much sought after and quality brokers like Andy Butterworth and Alan Dee are busily sorting out mortgages for all types of Stretford property.

Because the houses in Stretford are a mix, the types of mortgages available are also a mix. First time buyers, buy to let, lease to buy, remortgages and bad credit mortgages all rank highly in Stretford.

Ideally placed between Chorlton, Sale, Urmston and Manchester city centre, Stretford is the cheapest of these areas to buy a house. Chorlton is super expensive, closely followed by Sale and then Urmston. For people looking to buy a house in Stretford, you'll save yourself over £100k by relocating here rather than Chorlton.

With all the interest in buying property in Manchester, in this post we take a look at an article from the MEN about listed buildings that are up for sale across the Greater Manchester area - some of them are so cheap you won't even need a mortgage.

Whilst owning a listed property is nice for some people, remember that they come with a list of things that you can't do - one of which is usually renovation - the buyers are encouraged to preserve the properties period features.

Sometimes, grants are available to help you maintain your listed property but obviously, you will need to check what is and isn't possible, along with what can and can't be done to the property.

You can get the information you need from a good mortgage provider and broker and there are few better equipped than Manchester Mortgages, a lender that has been providing mortgages in Manchester for the last 20 years. Experts in period properties with restrictive covenants, they have dealt with getting mortgages for clients wanting to buy historic buildings for several years now.

So take a look at the properties from all over Manchester, including Middleton, Heywood and Delph and think what it would be like to own a little piece of history.
