2 MERTON AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Charnwood local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 MERTON AVENUE sales from April 2008 and July 2020 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 2008 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.
