5 BENTWORTH CLOSE 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 5 BENTWORTH CLOSE sales between April 2001 and November 2014 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 2009 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.
