8 WEST DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wirral local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 WEST DRIVE sales from October 1998 and May 2009 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 1998 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the May 2009 sale, where it rises to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.
