5 HELENBANK DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the St Helens local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 HELENBANK DRIVE sales between April 2004 and October 2022 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 May 2016 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it falls to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.

What might 5 HELENBANK DRIVE be worth now?
