The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bolton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 4 BUCKTHORN CLOSE sales between February 1998 and May 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 April 2023 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI.
