26 POPLAR 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 26 POPLAR AVENUE sales from October 2014 and May 2019 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 October 2014 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI.
