8 DOWNHAM CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Oldham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 DOWNHAM CLOSE sales from January 2018 and May 2022 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the January 2018 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI.
