1 WHIMSTER SQUARE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 WHIMSTER SQUARE sales between January 2009 and August 2024 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 February 2019 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
