The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 5 BLACKLEDGE CLOSE sales between July 1999 and November 2024 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 April 2023 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI.
