4 WITTENHAM 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 two 4 WITTENHAM CLOSE sales from August 1995 and September 2014 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 August 1995 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, which was also at 26% below the HPI.

What might 4 WITTENHAM CLOSE be worth now?
