FARNSWORTH HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sunderland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FARNSWORTH HOUSE sales from September 2004 and January 2024 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 September 2004 sale was for 116% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 116% above the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it falls to 77% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 77% above the HPI.
