Top tips for a Bolton Home Buyers Survey
Bolton's architecture saw its greatest boost with the arrival of the railway, particularly when Great Moor Street Station opened in 1831. Bolton Town Hall, a Grade II-listed building, was built between 1866 and 1873. There are, however, some survivals from earlier periods, particularly notably the 14th century Smithills Hall, now a museum and a Grade I-listed building. Hall i' th' Wood, originally a manor house, was built in the early 16th century.
The Church of St Peter is an example of the gothic revival style and was built between 1866 and 1871, however St Mary's Deane dates from 1250! There are any number of classic Victorian terraced houses, such as can be seen in Webb Street and Arkwright Street. Carlton Road has some larger detached properties from the same period.
There are large numbers of standard construction houses and flats built in various decades of the 20th century. Johnson Fold is one example of a municipal housing estate: this particular one was constructed in the 1950s.
House building has continued in the area in more recent times and there are a number of new build properties.

An Environmental Search taken out for a property in Stoneycroft Avenue, Horwich, Bolton BL6 6AN revealed that the dwelling was within 4km of an area licensed for onshore energy exploration and production and within 4km of existing or proposed wind farms or wind turbines. Additionally it was located within 25m of a coal mining affected area. In the case of the first two observations, these can enable you to take a view on whether you think your enjoyment of the property might be impacted because of noise or even visual pollution. In the case of the third finding, this normally occasions a recommendation from your solicitor to get an additional Coal Mining Search to find out if there are likely to be issues with ground stability and/or contamination. These facts underline the importance of the search both for your solicitor's enquiries, your lender's conditions of lending and your own benefit. |
Parish church claims on parishioners for chancel repair, where these occur, can be fairly costly, with individual households possibly being legally required to pay £1,000s. Buying a chancel repair indemnity insurance policy for a property you're looking to buy is an easy and efficient way of protecting yourself against this possible eventuality and among many others, one such policy was taken out for a property in Fox Street, Horwich, Bolton BL6 5NZ. This policy generally costs around £20 to buy and normally covers the policy holder for claims to the limit of £1 million. |
A Local Authority Search lists all land charges listed at your local authority for a property you're considering buying, making it invaluable for your solicitor regarding making further enquiries and for you when it comes to considering whether your enjoyment of the dwelling is likely to be impacted. A recent such report taken out for a property in Hadleigh Green, Lostock, Bolton BL6 4EB revealed that locally there was a tree preservation order, a smoke control order and various plans regarding the siting of 18 dwellings – including details of design and landscaping among other matters – all in close proximity to the dwelling. |
