16 MERLIN DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 16 MERLIN DRIVE sales between June 2005 and January 2021 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 April 2014 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.
