2 HARDCASTLE 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 five 2 HARDCASTLE CLOSE sales between August 1999 and August 2019 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 November 2003 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.
