The kind of houses we buy in Bolton

Bolton was a cotton town and the housing still says so. Terraced streets built for mill workers run through most of BL1, BL2 and BL3, and they remain the bulk of what changes hands.

Terraced stock here is affordable by Greater Manchester standards, which cuts both ways. It means a lot of it is rented, and it means a landlord who wants out has fewer buyers than he would in south Manchester. Small portfolios come to us fairly often — three or four houses on neighbouring streets, all bought years ago, all now more trouble than they are worth to manage from a distance.

Farnworth and Kearsley sit between Bolton and Salford and carry some of the lowest values in the borough. Empty properties are more common here than elsewhere, and an empty house is one of the harder things to sell conventionally: insurers charge more, lenders ask questions, and the longer it stands the worse it gets.

Westhoughton is more suburban — postwar semis, estates, families. These sell normally, so the reason one reaches us is usually a date: a relocation, a repossession hearing, a chain that has already gone once.

Horwich has changed more than the rest of the borough. The old locomotive works site has been redeveloped at scale, which has brought a lot of new-build into a market that previously had almost none.

Egerton and Bromley Cross are the affluent north, running up towards the West Pennine Moors. Larger detached, stone, older. Slower to sell simply because there are fewer buyers at that level.

Why people in Bolton sell to us

Every situation below has a page of its own. None of them is unusual, and none of them needs explaining twice.

• A probate property — often empty, often needing work, often held between several people
• Mortgage arrears or a repossession date
• A divorce or separation where the house has to be dealt with before anything else can be
• A rental with tenants still in it
• A chain that has collapsed
• A house that will not sell however long it sits on the market
