5 KIRBY 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 5 KIRBY CLOSE sales from September 2007 and August 2011 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 September 2007 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it rises to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.
