53 ALTON ROAD 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 53 ALTON ROAD sales from November 1996 and June 2005 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 1996 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the June 2005 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.
