5 THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Trafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 THE FIRS sales between March 1998 and May 2016 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 2014 sale was for 240% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 240% above the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it rises to 263% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 263% above the HPI.
