5 WHITWELL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Solihull local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 WHITWELL CLOSE sales from January 2000 and April 2023 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the January 2000 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it falls to 54% below the HPI.
