8 ORWELL 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 8 ORWELL CLOSE sales from June 2006 and September 2017 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 June 2006 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI.
