1 THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cannock Chase local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 THE FIRS sales from August 1997 and July 2017 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 August 1997 sale was for 43% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% above the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it falls to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.
