The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chorley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 15 MERLIN CLOSE sales from August 2011 and June 2017 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 August 2011 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it rises to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.
