12 KENT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wirral local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 KENT CLOSE sales from November 1996 and December 2008 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 November 1996 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the December 2008 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.
