1 MERCURY WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 MERCURY WAY sales between July 2004 and February 2020 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 September 2016 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it rises to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
