17 TOP ACRE ROAD 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 17 TOP ACRE ROAD sales from May 1999 and May 2016 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 May 1999 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 17 TOP ACRE ROAD be worth now?
