About Bolton
Prices, rents, yields, growth & much more for the city of Bolton
Bolton is a large town in Greater Manchester, England's North West. Only 10 miles northwest of Manchester and lies between Darwen, Blackburn, Bury, Chorley and Salford.
The town has a population of over 200,000, whose median age is 38 — 2.3 years younger than the UK average.
Although Bolton has been around since the Bronze age, and there have been stone circles found in the area, the town became a force to be reckoned with during the industrial revolution.
It was a 19th-century boomtown, with 216 cotton mills and many bleach and buying works, making it one of the world's largest centres for cotton spinning.
Bolton's economy is fuelled by health, business, financial and professional services, cultural & creative industries, construction and retail.

Selling a house in Bolton: Your selling options
Local Bolton estate agents
High-street estate agents in Bolton should provide you with a local service that covers the negotiations and marketing of the sale of your home.
They should use an online property portal like Zoopla or Rightmove for advertising your property and can help you arrange viewings and open days.
What fees do estate agents charge?
Local high-street estate agents in Bolton tend to cost, on average, 1.4%+VAT of your original asking price with the addition of having any hidden fees or packages that will go towards necessary house-selling services like marketing or negotiating.
Are estate agents' valuations accurate?
Some estate agents in Bolton will overvalue your property to win your business.
If you are selling your property via an estate agent in Bolton, you should ensure that they offer a 'no sale, no fee' service, as this will ensure that your property is not overvalued.
Alternatively, you could use our free, no-obligation ‘Get Offer’ service, and we will send you a cash offer valuation based on property market trends and information you provide one of our property experts.

Bolton property auctions
Property auctions in Bolton are helpful if you wish to sell unusual properties outside the open market.
You'll need to know the difference between a guide price and a reserve price, as these are set for each slot.
A guide price for a lot is like a valuation; it's the price that an auction house or the seller thinks the property is worth.
A reserve price is a minimum payment that the vendor will accept, but this is usually kept private.

Can anyone sell a house at auction?
Yes, anyone can sell at auction in Bolton, most property types sell well on auction, but you run the risk of not selling at all.
