5 SMALLRIDGE 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 four 5 SMALLRIDGE CLOSE sales between August 1999 and November 2023 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 January 2023 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the November 2023 sale, where it rises to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
