11 FIR TREE CLOSE 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 two 11 FIR TREE CLOSE sales from May 2013 and March 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 May 2013 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it rises to 47% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% below the HPI.

What might 11 FIR TREE CLOSE be worth now?
