1 DORCHESTER 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 three 1 DORCHESTER CLOSE sales between September 1997 and July 2005 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 2000 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the July 2005 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 1 DORCHESTER CLOSE be worth now?
