71 WHITBURN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 71 WHITBURN sales from October 2003 and September 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 October 2003 sale was for 73% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 73% below the HPI over time, until the September 2023 sale, where it falls to 81% below the HPI.
