BIRDSONG COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Trafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BIRDSONG COTTAGE sales between February 1998 and June 2021 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 2002 sale was for 126% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 126% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it falls to 71% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 71% above the HPI.
