24 HIGHER DRAKE MEADOW 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 24 HIGHER DRAKE MEADOW sales between August 2002 and October 2018 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 September 2005 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it rises to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 24 HIGHER DRAKE MEADOW be worth now?
