WESTERLEA 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 WESTERLEA sales between January 1995 and July 2009 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 August 1997 sale was for 102% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 102% above the HPI over time, until the July 2009 sale, where it rises to 111% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 111% above the HPI.

What might WESTERLEA be worth now?

WESTERLEA might now be worth an estimated £753,439.

This is based on house price inflation of 79.4%, between July 2009 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 79.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WESTERLEA of £420,000 on 24th July 2009. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £753,439 over the fourteen years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WESTERLEA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bolton local authority area.
• The July 2009 sale price of £420,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WESTERLEA has not materially changed since July 2009.
