5 ELSHAM 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 ELSHAM CLOSE sales between June 1999 and October 2018 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 2008 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 5 ELSHAM CLOSE be worth now?
