Our Andrew Cardwell, Managing Director of Cardwells Estate Agents in Bury and Bolton had this to say about the findings:
“Outdoor space and garden areas have always been important to a large proportion of those looking to buy or rent property in Bolton and Bury particularly those with children. Since the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdowns this has become even more prevalent, and important for many people. We have seen outdoor space become increasingly important when potential buyers and tenants are registering their requirements with us. This report shows that Bolton has a staggering 18,748,395 square meters of combined garden space, and there is a wonderful and eclectic variety of property in Bury and Bolton to suit any budget which can perhaps include; a balcony, shared garden space all the way to farms and country homes with their own acreage. One of the great things about Bolton and Bury though is that there is so much beautiful countryside within our towns that we can get out and enjoy for free, for example The Jumbles reservoir and Country Park, Burrs Coiuntry Park, The West Pennine Moors, Holcombe Hill, Moss Bank Park, Nuttall Park and Rivington are all available to us to explore. So even though gardens and outdoors space is important for many tenants and buyers of property in Bolton and Bury, we are so lucky to have such beautiful outdoor space so close to home that for many people having a large garden is entirely unnecessary.”
