25 UNCLE BENS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Sandwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 25 UNCLE BENS CLOSE sales between June 2003 and May 2022 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 July 2005 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it falls to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.
