Andrew Cardwell, Managing Director of Cardwells Estate Agents Bolton had this to say about the report;
“It is no surprise that our wonderful town of Bolton has ranked so highly in this study as one of the top ten most affordable places town to retire. All of us have been effected by the high inflation levels and the cost of living challenges during the last year or two, so it’s welcoming news that this study has found Bolton to offer excellent levels of affordability, and in turn value for money. There are so many great benefits for those looking to enjoy retirement in Bolton, not least the wide selection, and eclectic mix of property that could be worth considering as retirement planning approaches, or is to be enjoyed. Importantly Bolton has a wonderful array of facilities that are not even considered in this study which are free, such as the beautiful countryside that is on our doorstep ready to be explored, such as; the West Pennine Moors, a choice of reservoirs, Rivington Pike etc etc, fantastic transport facilities via both road and railway, free public transportation travel is even available for a number of people enjoying retirement, and of course there are some wonderful sports / social clubs, an array of shopping and leisure facilities, and restaurants to enjoy. Perhaps if all the community and countryside facilities were taken into account, Bolton would score even higher, as the value for more is even more substantial than is considered in the report”
