In cash terms the typical BL6 7 home went from £41,500 in 1995 to £199,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 121%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2025, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2025 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BL6 7 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+41.5% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−15.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −10.2% | −12.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.5% | −0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.7% | +2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
BL6 7 recorded 34 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 139 sales a year before the financial crisis and 90 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around BL6 7
For renting purposes BL6 7 sits in Bolton. The ONS average private rent there is £883 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £646 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,433, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Bolton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £199,000 median purchase price, a rent of £883 a month (£10,596 a year) works out at a 5.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
What kind of market BL6 7 is
This is a thin market: 34 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

Bedroom by bedroom: BL prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the BL area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £279,995 | £365,000 (+30%) | £530,500 (+45%) | £775,000 (+46%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
