Do You Know How Many People Live in the Average Bolton Home?

When helping people move, it’s not just about bricks and mortar, it’s about understanding how households live today.


According to the latest Census data, the north west has 18.5 % of households with four or more people living under one roof. 

Knowledge of this highlights the importance of homes that offer space, flexibility, and functionality.
Larger households often look for homes with generous living areas, multiple bathrooms, good parking, and proximity to schools. Whether it's growing families, multigenerational living, or people simply needing more room to breathe, the local demand for space is real and growing.

At Harrisons estate agents , we keep a close eye on trends like these. Why? Because it helps us match homes with the right buyers faster. Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or just curious about how household trends could affect your home’s value, we're here to help.

In the coming week’s we will be analysing Bolton and looking at the exact numbers for our town and what that means for homeowners and buyers alike.

Big changes are coming to the rental market. The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 takes effect from 27 December 2025, marking the start of major reforms for tenants, landlords, and agents — from new investigation powers to the end of “no-fault” evictions.

Thinking of selling soon? Setting the right asking price can make or break your move. Here’s why overvaluing your home, even with the best intentions, can actually reduce its true market value and slow your sale.

If your home has been sitting on the market with no progress, you’re not stuck. Switching estate agents is easier than you think, if you understand your contract and prepare properly. Here’s the truth, the timelines and the process to relaunch with impact.
