8 THORN LEA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 THORN LEA sales from July 1996 and July 2000 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 July 1996 sale was for 95% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 95% above the HPI over time, until the July 2000 sale, where it rises to 132% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 132% above the HPI.

What might 8 THORN LEA be worth now?
