3 BENTWORTH CLOSE 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 3 BENTWORTH CLOSE sales from May 2001 and September 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 May 2001 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the September 2004 sale, where it falls to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.
