The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wyre Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 MERTON CLOSE sales between February 1999 and December 2015 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 2007 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, which was also at 15% below the HPI.
