Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

In short: a typical BL6 6 (Bolton) home changed hands for £227,500 in 2026 (median of 56 registered sales, up 15% on five years earlier), with the mean at £269,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,620 per square metre over the last five years. Source: 4,096 completed sales on the HM Land Registry record since 1995, updated with each monthly release. No valuations, no asking prices.

BL6 6 is one sector of BL6 (Bolton): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

What a home in BL6 6 sells for

In the BL6 6 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £227,500, from 56 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £269,300, sitting well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.

Price per square metre in BL6 6

Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in BL6 6 costs about £2,620 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, BL6 6 runs 20% below it.

In cash terms the typical BL6 6 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £227,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 175%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+33.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−16.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

The long view: annualised growth

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.

Transaction volumes

BL6 6 recorded 56 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 169 sales a year before the financial crisis and 104 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.

What kind of market BL6 6 is

Only 56 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BL6 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.

What tenants pay around BL6 6

The local authority for BL6 6 is Bolton, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £883 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £646 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,433 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

£883 a month is £10,596 a year, which against the £227,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.7%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Asked and answered: BL6 6 (Blackrod)

Will BL6 6 prices rise from here?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 15% over five years in cash but down 9% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
