Prices over time
The median rose 78%, from £105,000 in 2016 to £187,000 in 2025, more than the 52% rise for a typical district in the North West.
Leasehold homes
74% of sales in BL3 were leasehold, against 21% across England and Wales. Only 5% were flats, so some houses here are leasehold too: ask who owns the freehold, what the ground rent is and whether you could buy the freehold.
Flats here sold for a median of £94,500, 22% less than the £121,500 typical of the 6 nearest districts with enough flat sales.
Coal mining
All 1,387 live postcodes in BL3 are in the Mining Remediation Authority's coal mining reporting area, so expect your conveyancer to order a mining report with the other conveyancing searches. It does not mean a home is affected (what the report covers).
