1 BRACKEN 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 two 1 BRACKEN CLOSE sales from August 1995 and May 2018 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 August 1995 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.
