5 GIRVAN 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 two 5 GIRVAN CLOSE sales from August 2015 and July 2018 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the August 2015 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it falls to 51% below the HPI.
