Inside five Bolton homes that won’t sell

Some properties fly off the market- but other properties can be listed for months or years at a time even if they are beautiful places to live with no obvious faults.

We have tracked down some of the oldest property listings in Bolton, each of which has something special to offer any prospective buyers- one of them could even be your next dream home.

Tom Parker, Consumer Spokesperson at Zoopla said: "If a property is taking longer than anticipated to sell, it often comes down to two factors: the asking price and the local market.

"We always recommend seeking advice from your estate agent to help drive the desirability of your listing - and being open to their feedback! If it's an issue with the interiors, it can pay dividends to clear the clutter and give the property a fresh lick of paint. 

"Other times, it really does come down to patience; providing a property is priced accurately, and clean and tidy in appearance, there's no reason it shouldn't find a buyer."

Here are five Bolton homes that have been listed on the Zoopla website for years:

Ringley Grove
£180,000

This Ringley Grove property would be the perfect home for new families as it has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The kitchen is the focal point of the home and has a door opening to the side rear and from the third reception room you can also access the rear.

It is also fitted with many modern appliances complete with a mix of white wall & base units, stainless steel sink & drainer with mixer tap, four ring ceramic hob and an integrated washing machine.

While it is an attractive home with a lot to offer, it’s been on the market since August 2019 and has been unable to secure a buyer.

On the market for an impressive five bedroom house?

If so, you’re in luck as this Morris Green home is up for grabs.

This Victorian-style house has retained its many grand features such as the beautiful banister rail, period decorative architrave, grand entrance, high ceilings.

It also benefits from a very large kitchen.

However, it was first listed for sale in August 2016 and has been unable to secure a buyer for years.

Its price was increased by £15,000 in 2018.

At £1,250,000, this property might have been on the market for so long because it is out of reach for someone on the average wage.

However, it is a dream home and a millionaire’s dream.

It has five bedrooms and a whopping five bathrooms too.

It has been designed and built to an extremely high standard, with a grand entrance hallway and sweeping staircase.

A small staircase leads to the master suite which opens up with wooden flooring to a spacious bedroom and dressing room with a comprehensive range of fitted wardrobes and onto the principal bathroom.

This ensuite benefits from a Jacuzzi bath with rainwater shower head.

The house was first listed for sale in 2017 and £50,000 has been knocked off its asking price since then.

Lower House Drive, Lostock
£849,950

It has been on the market since June 2018.

This three bedroom townhouse could be your next home.

In September 2019, its price was reduced by £17,500.
