4 SOWERBY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 SOWERBY CLOSE sales between July 1998 and September 2016 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 2006 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.
