What is around it

Size, energy rating, walls and flood risk.

Crime nearby

Crimes recorded within about 500 metres, last twelve months.

Greater Manchester Police have not published street-level crime data to data.police.uk since July 2019, so there is nothing reliable to show here. That is a gap in their records, not a quiet area.

A dot is the nearest point on or near a street, never a house.

Broadband

Gigabit

Every home in this postcode can get gigabit broadband (full fibre or cable): 1,000 Mb or more.

How this area has changed

Typical prices for detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.

Area	Now	5 years ago	10 years ago	15 years ago	20 years ago
Brooklands	–	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales
Postcode sector BL6 5	£325,000	£285,000 +14% since	£210,000 +55% since	£211,000 +54% since	£199,950 +63% since

The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.

Sector BL6 5 Bolton Typical price each year, detached houses. A gap is a year with too few sales.
