8 WEARHEAD 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 WEARHEAD CLOSE sales from October 1995 and December 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 1995 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI.
