2 MELROSE DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 MELROSE DRIVE sales from November 2000 and February 2019 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 2000 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the February 2019 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.
