9 FIR TREE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 9 FIR TREE CLOSE sales from March 1998 and September 2011 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 March 1998 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the September 2011 sale, where it falls to 63% below the HPI.
