3 MEGFIELD 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 four 3 MEGFIELD sales between November 1998 and October 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 May 2013 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 3 MEGFIELD be worth now?

3 MEGFIELD might now be worth an estimated £316,345.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.7%, between October 2023 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Bolton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 3.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 MEGFIELD of £305,000 on 20th October 2023. For the value to have increased from £305,000 to £316,345 over the ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 MEGFIELD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bolton local authority area.
• The October 2023 sale price of £305,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 MEGFIELD has not materially changed since October 2023.
