The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 159 LEIGH ROAD sales between November 1999 and May 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 February 2022 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, which was also at 16% above the HPI.
