BANK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four BANK COTTAGE sales between July 2001 and March 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 April 2021 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.
