5 GAINFORD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Halton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 GAINFORD CLOSE sales between December 1995 and June 2020 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 June 2003 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the June 2020 sale, where it falls to 4% below the HPI.
