HIGHERCROFT 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 HIGHERCROFT sales between October 1997 and October 2014 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 February 1999 sale was for 129% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 129% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 99% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 99% above the HPI.
