3 BLAKEY 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 five 3 BLAKEY CLOSE sales between June 1996 and December 2023 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 2016 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 3 BLAKEY CLOSE be worth now?
