522 OLD CHESTER ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Wirral local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 522 OLD CHESTER ROAD sales between February 2005 and December 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 October 2018 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.
