44 COTTAGE LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lichfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 44 COTTAGE LANE sales between October 1997 and October 2023 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 2014 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 44 COTTAGE LANE be worth now?
