40 WESTERN ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 40 WESTERN ROAD sales between June 1996 and February 2021 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 September 2006 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
