This page is for Whitefield landlords. We cover the houses we run, what they let for, the Bury rules and how we manage from Ashton.
What we run in Whitefield
We manage two three bed family houses in Whitefield, one on Ribble Drive and one on Cambeck Close, both in the M45 postcode area. They are single lets, not house shares. Whitefield is the smaller of our two Bury towns, and we manage it alongside our Radcliffe houses a few miles away.
What our Whitefield homes let for
We have not found a published rent for Whitefield alone, and with two houses our own figure is a small sample: both three bed houses let at about £950 a month. That is below our Radcliffe three beds, and the difference is in the finish and the street, not a rule about the town. Treat it as one data point and ask us for a valuation of your own house.
Getting around Whitefield
- Tram. Whitefield Metrolink station is on the Bury to Manchester Victoria line. Besses o' th' Barn station also serves the area.
- Motorway. Whitefield lies on the west side of the M60 and M66 junction, so the motorway network is close.
- Council. Whitefield is in the Metropolitan Borough of Bury and has been an unparished part of it since 1 April 1974.
The town in a few honest lines
Whitefield sits on the line of a Roman road from Manchester to Ribchester. It became an urban district in 1894, and its Town Hall dates from 1933. All Saints' Church in the Stand area was consecrated in 1826.
Landlord rules in Whitefield
- HMO licence. Bury Council runs the mandatory scheme: a licence is needed where five or more people from two or more households share. When we checked in November 2026 its page said Bury was only using the mandatory scheme, and that it was consulting on its HMO policy. Check the council's HMO licence page before you let.
- Not Tameside. The Tameside Article 4 Direction and licensing rules on the rest of this site do not apply here. Bury has its own policy and planning guidance, which we check for each property.
- Deposits and rent rises. The same national rules apply: protect deposits within 30 days (guide) and raise rent only by Section 13 (guide).
How we manage in Whitefield
- Repairs. Our own maintenance team makes emergencies safe within 24 hours, with urgent jobs in 3 working days and routine ones in 20.
