8 WITHBURN CLOSE 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 four 8 WITHBURN CLOSE sales between August 1997 and September 2014 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the August 2002 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
