42 MIDFORD DRIVE 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 three 42 MIDFORD DRIVE sales between November 1996 and May 2017 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 November 2002 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.
