15 FOREST DRIVE 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 15 FOREST DRIVE sales from May 2004 and October 2022 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 2004 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it falls to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.
