25 FOREST DRIVE 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 25 FOREST DRIVE sales from May 2004 and September 2016 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 May 2004 sale was for 62% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% above the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it falls to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.
