8 HEMLEY 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 four 8 HEMLEY CLOSE sales between February 1998 and June 2016 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 November 2012 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 8 HEMLEY CLOSE be worth now?

8 HEMLEY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £323,041.

This is based on house price inflation of 61.5%, between June 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Bolton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 61.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 HEMLEY CLOSE of £200,000 on 24th June 2016. For the value to have increased from £200,000 to £323,041 over the seven years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 HEMLEY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bolton local authority area.
• The June 2016 sale price of £200,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 HEMLEY CLOSE has not materially changed since June 2016.
