8 BIRCHWOOD 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 three 8 BIRCHWOOD CLOSE sales between September 1999 and October 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 October 2002 sale was for 71% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 71% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 29% above the HPI.
