7 MERLIN 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 MERLIN CLOSE sales between February 1996 and January 2012 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 April 2004 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the January 2012 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.
