5 BRIGHTWATER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 BRIGHTWATER CLOSE sales from March 1997 and February 2025 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 March 1997 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the February 2025 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.
