2 WASHBURN 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 seven 2 WASHBURN CLOSE sales between December 1996 and September 2023 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 December 2013 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the September 2023 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.
