5A COTTAGE DRIVE WEST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wirral local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5A COTTAGE DRIVE WEST sales from October 1999 and July 2004 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 1999 sale was for 193% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 193% above the HPI over time, until the July 2004 sale, where it falls to 141% above the HPI.
