5 WATKIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 WATKIN CLOSE sales from May 2015 and January 2018 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 2015 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the January 2018 sale, where it falls to 23% above the HPI.
