The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 HOUGHTON STREET sales between May 2010 and March 2024 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the June 2023 sale was for 73% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 73% below the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it rises to 58% below the HPI.
