5 SMITHY HEY 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 SMITHY HEY sales from November 2006 and November 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 November 2006 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 5 SMITHY HEY be worth now?
