4 DESIGN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bromsgrove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 DESIGN CLOSE sales from June 2007 and April 2018 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 June 2007 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it falls to 50% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% below the HPI.
