5 BLACKLEDGE CLOSE 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 four 5 BLACKLEDGE CLOSE sales between July 1999 and April 2023 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 October 2006 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI.
