Bolton has recently emerged as one of the UK’s top locations for property growth, having recorded one of the largest annual house price increases in the country. According to recent data from Halifax, the town experienced a 12.9% rise in average house prices over the past year; placing it among the top five areas nationally for growth.
This upward trend reflects a broader movement of buyers seeking more affordable areas, as high mortgage costs push them away from pricier regions. Bolton’s combination of affordability, connectivity, and community makes it an attractive option for a range of buyers, including first-time buyers and investors.
One of the key drivers behind Bolton’s growing popularity is its continued affordability in comparison to other regions. Despite the recent rise, property in Bolton still offers good value for money, particularly when compared to areas in neighbouring cities like Manchester, despite the proximity.
Furthermore, Bolton has excellent transport connections, providing easy access to Manchester and beyond, therefore making it an increasingly attractive location for commuters. Combine this with Bolton’s strong community feel, green spaces, and range of local amenities, and it’s easy to see why so many people are choosing to move to the area.
