The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 7 WHITEFIELD CLOSE sales between December 1995 and August 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 August 2014 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, which was also at 29% above the HPI.
