3 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 three 3 FOREST DRIVE sales between September 1999 and October 2020 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 November 2001 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
