THE FIRS 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 THE FIRS sales from February 2000 and November 2014 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 February 2000 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 55% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% above the HPI.
