5 BOWENS FIELD 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 two 5 BOWENS FIELD sales from March 2014 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 March 2014 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI.
