How Boundary Drive, Bolton prices moved
The chart tracks the median Boundary Drive, Bolton house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2019. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 5 | £52,870 | £117,396 |
| 2000s | 9 | £102,500 | £186,725 |
| 2010s | 1 | £150,000 | £211,500 |
The highest yearly median on record for Boundary Drive, Bolton is £158,000 in 2006; the lowest is £49,000 in 1996. Across the full 25-year record the cash median has moved from £52,870 to £150,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £117,396, so the real change over the whole record is +67.1% — about +2.16% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +1.4% in cash against -21.0% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Boundary Drive, Bolton values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Boundary Drive, Bolton is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 98 | 61.3% | £110,000 | £30,000 – £279,995 |
| Detached | 40 | 25.0% | £128,500 | £52,500 – £520,000 |
| Terraced | 21 | 13.1% | £53,995 | £29,000 – £187,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 1 | 0.6% | £128,000 | £128,000 – £128,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Boundary Drive, Bolton
49 of the sales on record are leasehold and 111 freehold — 30.6% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £125,000 and the median freehold sale £85,437 — a gap of -31.7%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 49 | 30.6% | £125,000 |
| Freehold | 111 | 69.4% | £85,437 |
| New build | 16 | 10.0% | £50,798 |
| Existing home | 144 | 90.0% | £120,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -57.7%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.

Living in Boundary Drive, Bolton
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Bolton, 43.5% of 135,690 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.5% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 417 | 0.3% |
| B | 10,442 | 7.7% |
| C | 48,231 | 35.5% |

| F | 3,716 | 2.7% |
| G | 1,054 | 0.8% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Bolton at £882 a month as of Jun 2026 — £645 for a one-bedroom home and £974 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £112,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 9.41% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
No street-level crime was published for BL2 in Jun 2026 by Greater Manchester. Several forces do not supply street-level data to police.uk, so this is a gap in the source rather than a crime-free month — and printing a zero would say something the data does not.

The 2021 census counted 295,963 residents in Bolton across 118,790 households. 61.9% of those households own their home and 37.8% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

How Boundary Drive, Bolton compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Boundary Drive, Bolton sits below that national figure — -28.6%.
Within Bolton the street ranks 1503 of 3171 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £98,000 (+14.8%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £29,000 to £520,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Boundary Drive, Bolton sits in Bolton, in the North West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Bolton at 6.2 times median local earnings of £33,008 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Boundary Drive, Bolton?
The median price paid in Boundary Drive, Bolton across every sale on the register is £112,500. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Boundary Drive, Bolton?
160 sales are on record for Boundary Drive, Bolton, the most recent completing on 31 Jul 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Boundary Drive, Bolton house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +1.4% between 2008 and 2019. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -21.0%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Boundary Drive, Bolton house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £158,000, set in 2006. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Boundary Drive, Bolton?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 31 Jul 2025. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
