The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 17 THORNTON CLOSE sales between April 1997 and February 2021 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 May 2002 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI.
