GAINSTHORPE 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 GAINSTHORPE sales from September 2001 and December 2002 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 2001 sale was for 64% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% above the HPI over time, until the December 2002 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.
