3 HARDY 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 HARDY CLOSE sales from January 1998 and December 2011 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 January 1998 sale was for 73% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 73% below the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI.
