What I photograph in Oldham
Two very different markets inside one borough. Dense terraced streets through Werneth and Glodwick, largely investor and letting stock; and then Saddleworth — Uppermill, Delph, Dobcross — where stone cottages sell and let at several times the price and a good share are holiday lets.

- Saddleworth stone cottages
- Holiday lets
- New-build apartments
How a shoot in Oldham actually runs
The terraced work is quick and repeatable, so it suits being batched several in a day. Saddleworth is the opposite: the exteriors are the reason people pay, the light in those valleys goes early, and one property can take a morning.
Who books this in Oldham
Two markets that barely overlap. Investors and letting agents in the town want several properties covered efficiently in a day. Saddleworth is the opposite trade — higher values, holiday lets, and exteriors that are most of the reason anyone books the place, so one property can fill a morning.

Common questions
How much is property photography in Oldham?+
£188. That is £180 for the shoot plus £8 travel — Oldham is 18 miles from Halifax, the first 10 miles are free, and the rest is charged at £1 a mile. Nothing else is added.
Do you actually travel to Oldham, or is it subcontracted?+
I drive there myself. Foldscapes is a one-person studio — Mustafa Haroon takes the photographs, edits them and sends them over. It is about a 35-minute drive from Halifax, so a morning slot in Oldham is straightforward.
Which Oldham postcodes do you cover?+
OL1–OL9. If you are just outside that, ask anyway — the price only moves with the mileage, so a few miles further is a few pounds, not a different quote.
