4 FERNLEA CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 FERNLEA CROFT sales between September 2001 and March 2016 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 May 2015 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.
