1 BENTWORTH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bolton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 BENTWORTH CLOSE sales between February 2001 and May 2024 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the October 2001 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 1 BENTWORTH CLOSE be worth now?
