CROFT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CROFT COTTAGE sales from December 1995 and October 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 December 1995 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it rises to 78% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 78% above the HPI.
