490 LEIGH ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Bolton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 490 LEIGH ROAD sales between July 1999 and October 2017 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 July 2012 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.

What might 490 LEIGH ROAD be worth now?
