1A WEST 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 three 1A WEST CLOSE sales between April 1997 and April 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 November 2009 sale was for 69% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% above the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it falls to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.
