12 BIRBECK CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 BIRBECK CLOSE sales from April 2008 and January 2024 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 April 2008 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.
