2 MELBOURNE 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 2 MELBOURNE CLOSE sales from November 2002 and July 2007 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 2002 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the July 2007 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might 2 MELBOURNE CLOSE be worth now?

2 MELBOURNE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £263,906.

This is based on house price inflation of 62.4%, between July 2007 and March 2025, 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 62.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 MELBOURNE CLOSE of £162,500 on 13th July 2007. For the value to have increased from £162,500 to £263,906 over the eighteen years and four months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

  • The value of 2 MELBOURNE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bolton local authority area.
  • The July 2007 sale price of £162,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
  • The size, condition, and specification of 2 MELBOURNE CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2007.
Disclaimer: Please note that this is a theoretical estimate based on assumptions which may or may not be correct. It should not be relied on for any purpose.
