Grants – Private Sector

Improvements to private sector properties and areas within Bolton is based mainly within targeted areas. Access to grant assistance is discretionary and is dealt with by Bolton at Home in line with the Council's Private Sector Renewal Policy. You can access a summary version of the policy by clicking on the link under useful links.

Information on the Policy, current targeted areas and programmes within those areas can be obtained from Blackburn Road Housing Office.

Areas targeted at present are within the Tonge, Campbell Street, Queens Park and Great Lever Renewal Areas.

Outside of targeted areas, assistance will ordinarily only be considered if the following criteria is met:

The applicant has resided and owned the property for 3 years
The Council have served a formal notice requiring completion of building works elements of the property are dangerous, there is a lack of basic amenity – an inside toilet, hot water or bath, and there are other exceptional family circumstances combined with the above.

In addition it should be noted that grants are subject to a test of resources.

If you consider you meet the criteria, or would like further information on regeneration and grants, contact the Regeneration Unit.
