mate of mine from down south was asking about property investment opps in Bolton town centre

this place

https://info.heatongroup.co.uk/our-properties/stone-cross-house

basically he wants to know if it's up and coming, already made or, or no chance of a decent return

anything could happen of course, but I've not been in town in ages, so no idea what it's like

so what do you reckon?

[frank_spencer]

It's right by the forthcoming Churchgate development that's at least one thing going for it.

Fuck knows what the future brings wouldnt want to be in that game at the moment

For me, it'll go the same way as all the others, investors wade in then can't get any yield other than renting to crackheads (see Marsden House), which sends the whole place into a downward spiral.

Heaton Group seem a decent company but they've 3 developments going in Preston atm and the uptake is really slow.

They've constructed/refurbished to a high standard but I'm not sure that there is the demand for such a high standard in Preston/Bolton.

Just my thoughts, like.

I think that is the development of the old tax office on Churchgate, a mate of mine had a look in April at them , nowt finished just artist impressions.

Wasnt impressed apart  from penthouse ones obviously and the rest very small. He has taken a punt on one of the mill developments down Eagley instead.

I talk to the lads working on the churchwarf development trying to link into Bank street every day

They are currently trying to pile through the site of Cromwellian/ Maxwell Plums club ,its taking 5 days to do one

They have 55 to do

Think the council have bitten off more than they can chew here , but Hey Ho ,Its only our money

Would have been far easier to start on Blue Boar/Greenhalghs/Sweetens bookshop site than the pantomime on Bank street

Was. May have changed. Flats on sale at 65k suggests not.

Anyone see manctopia last night. There'll be plenty of salfordians needing somewhere to move to.

Beat me too it. I think a home in Bolton as an investment will be a good move but if you’ve the money now then Manchester seems like it will be a no brainer.

I wouldn't be surprised if all Manchester's city centre flats are at something like 50% capacity

And more and more are going up

Deffo get that. I’m thinking more like a standard house to be honest. Think Manchester is going to have a bit of a London boom type thing over the next 20-30 years.

Daughter has been looking at houses. I find it incredible that brick for brick, I reckon you get 25% more house for your money in Darwen than in the areas of Bolton she’d want to live in.

I had exactly the same. Wigan and Chorley thrown in to that too. Not where I want to live though.

Darwen isn’t that bad. The new-builds where Cranberry Fair used to be are at the very south end of Darwen so close enough to Bolton to commute without having to go through town centre.

I know a few people who've identified houses in Darwen as being of decent value.
