26 BOWES CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 26 BOWES CLOSE sales between April 1996 and November 2001 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 1996 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the November 2001 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.
