The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 15 THORNTON CLOSE sales between April 1998 and July 2023 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 2021 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI.
