27 FOREST STREET Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Oldham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 27 FOREST STREET sales from June 2003 and January 2004 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 June 2003 sale was for 76% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 76% below the HPI over time, until the January 2004 sale, where it rises to 71% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 71% below the HPI.
