1 WORDSWORTH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lichfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 WORDSWORTH CLOSE sales from May 1998 and August 2023 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 May 1998 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.
