24 MEGFIELD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bolton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 24 MEGFIELD sales between August 1998 and May 2024 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 January 2002 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it rises to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.

What might 24 MEGFIELD be worth now?

24 MEGFIELD might now be worth an estimated £290,247.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.7%, between May 2024 and December 2024, for semi-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 3.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 24 MEGFIELD of £280,000 on 31st May 2024. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £290,247 over the five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 24 MEGFIELD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bolton local authority area.
