15 HANSBY 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 15 HANSBY CLOSE sales from December 2001 and March 2015 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the December 2001 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the March 2015 sale, which was also at 28% below the HPI.
