3 DOUGLAS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 DOUGLAS CLOSE sales from April 2007 and March 2016 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 April 2007 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI.
