5 GIRVAN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bolton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 GIRVAN CLOSE sales from August 2015 and July 2018 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 2015 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 5 GIRVAN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 51.2%, between July 2018 and February 2025, for semi-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 51.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 GIRVAN CLOSE of £116,000 on 24th July 2018. For the value to have increased from £116,000 to £175,399 over the seven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
