1 FORBES CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 FORBES CLOSE sales from July 1995 and September 2022 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 July 1995 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.
