15 BIRCH 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 15 BIRCH CLOSE sales from April 2004 and May 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 April 2004 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it rises to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.
