4 THORN LEA 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 4 THORN LEA sales from May 2001 and June 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 May 2001 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 4 THORN LEA be worth now?
