5 RAKE HEY 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 RAKE HEY CLOSE sales from June 1997 and July 2019 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the June 1997 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it falls to 46% below the HPI.
