1 MERRICKS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wyre Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 MERRICKS CLOSE sales from May 2004 and July 2015 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the May 2004 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI.
