MERRY END Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bradford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERRY END sales from December 1997 and November 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 December 1997 sale was for 282% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 282% above the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it rises to 347% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 347% above the HPI.
