15 BOWES CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 15 BOWES CLOSE sales from May 1995 and October 2016 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 May 1995 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 15 BOWES CLOSE be worth now?

15 BOWES CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £236,522.

This is based on house price inflation of 66.6%, between October 2016 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Bury local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 66.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 BOWES CLOSE of £142,000 on 28th October 2016. For the value to have increased from £142,000 to £236,522 over the seven years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 15 BOWES CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bury local authority area.
• The October 2016 sale price of £142,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
