MUNCASTER LODGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Helens local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MUNCASTER LODGE sales from September 2009 and January 2019 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 September 2009 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
