27 MERCIA CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tamworth local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 27 MERCIA CLOSE sales from February 2007 and July 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 February 2007 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the July 2022 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI.
