MERTON COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Conwy local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MERTON COTTAGE sales between April 2011 and August 2016 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the April 2015 sale was for 52% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% below the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it rises to 50% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% below the HPI.
