19 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 four 19 FOREST DRIVE sales between May 2004 and June 2017 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 2013 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it falls to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 19 FOREST DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 55.2%, between June 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Bolton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 55.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 19 FOREST DRIVE of £292,000 on 30th June 2017. For the value to have increased from £292,000 to £453,244 over the six years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
