The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Helens local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 LOWTHER DRIVE sales from December 2008 and January 2012 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the December 2008 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the January 2012 sale, where it rises to 44% above the HPI.
