4 THORNTON 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 4 THORNTON CLOSE sales from April 1997 and April 2014 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 1997 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
