21 LORTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rochdale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 21 LORTON CLOSE sales from August 2009 and April 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 August 2009 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 21 LORTON CLOSE be worth now?
