5 LOWER HOUSE 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 two 5 LOWER HOUSE DRIVE sales from May 2016 and August 2021 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the May 2016 sale was for 85% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 85% above the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 113% above the HPI.
