The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BUCKTHORN COTTAGE sales from May 2008 and February 2021 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the May 2008 sale was for 62% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 61% above the HPI.
