Bolton sold prices at a glance

*The latest months are still filling up. Sales usually take a few weeks to several months to be registered, so the recent count will rise as Land Registry catches up. Don't read the lower number as fewer sales.

Prices by property type

Small numbers of sales can swing a lot from year to year, so treat changes based on only a handful of sales with care.

Where prices sat

The highest recorded sale was £2,100,000, on Victoria Road. Around three in four Bolton sales (1043 of 1437) were leasehold, which is common in this part of Greater Manchester.

Chris's view

Across central Bolton and its inner suburbs, the typical home sold for £196,000, about 3% more than a year earlier. Terraced houses, the most common sale, rose the most, up around 7% to £155,000, and semis were up about 5%. That suggests steady demand at the more affordable end of the market. Half of all sales were under £200,000.

About these figures

• Source: HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, standard residential sales at full market value (category A). Repossessions, buy-to-let company purchases and other non-standard transfers (category B) are excluded, as are duplicate records of the same sale.
• These are all recorded sales in the area, by every agent and private sale. They are not Bowman Estates sales unless we say so.
• Land Registry data runs behind the market. Sales typically appear a few weeks to several months after completion, and the latest month published here is August 2026.
• Boundary: as described under "Area covered" above (postcode sectors with sales: BL1 1, BL1 2, BL1 3, BL1 4, BL1 5, BL1 6, BL1 7, BL1 8, BL2 1, BL2 2, BL2 3, BL2 4, BL2 5, BL2 6, BL3 1, BL3 2, BL3 3, BL3 4, BL3 5, BL3 6). Each postcode is counted on only one Bowman Estates sold-prices page, so no sale is double counted.
