7 MERCIA CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tamworth local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 7 MERCIA CLOSE sales between December 1995 and January 2018 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 June 1999 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the January 2018 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
