Questions people ask
Is Bolsover safe?
Police recorded about 72.5 crimes for every 1,000 residents in the 12 months to August 2026, about the same as East Midlands as a whole (77.8). Figures run high in busy centres where few people live, and they can't tell you how one street feels, so visit at different times of day.
How much do homes cost in Bolsover?
Homes sold for a typical £2,340 per m² in the year to August 2026, lower than East Midlands as a whole (£2,830 per m²). At that rate a 70 m² two-bedroom flat would cost roughly £165,000. This is a rough guide, not a valuation.
How many schools are there in Bolsover?
There are 33 state primary and 5 state secondary schools inside Bolsover's boundary. Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place, so check each school's admissions rules.
Is Bolsover a deprived area?
24% of Bolsover's 50 neighbourhoods are among the most deprived fifth in England, and 2% among the least deprived fifth, on the official Index of Multiple Deprivation. It combines income, jobs, health, education, crime, housing and living environment.
