With over 150 years of experience in residential property law, we have a portfolio of clients who we have successfully helped in Bolton and its surrounding areas.
Bolton is one of the largest towns in Lancashire and is situated just a short drive away from neighbouring Manchester. Aside from the expansive and bustling town centre, Bolton is also home to smaller surrounding townships such as Farnworth, Kearsley, Little Lever, Heywood, Westhoughton, Barrow Bridge and Horwich.
Buying a House In Bolton
Boasting many local attractions including an award-winning theatre (Bolton Little Theatre) as well as museums, aquariums and nature reserves, Bolton is already established as a desirable area to live in in the North West. With an impressive balance between amenities and tranquil areas of open countryside, moving to Bolton makes sense for a wide variety of people from young professionals to families and retirees.
Depending on which area of the town you select, property in and around Bolton can also be excellent value for money, especially in comparison to other towns in this area, such as Bury. The average asking price of a semi-detached house in the Bolton area currently stands at £207,973. Due to the nature of the town and the friendly manner of the locals, the value of property in this area is consistently increasing year on year.

How much does conveyancing cost in Bolton?
The cost of each property transaction varies, as no two properties are identical and our fees adapt to meet the unique needs of your sale or purchase. For instance, handling a listed building might entail higher costs due to its added complexities compared to a new freehold property. Consequently, we cannot provide a precise estimate until we obtain information about your specific transaction. However, our conveyancing fees begin at £285 plus VAT.
