RAILWAY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Walsall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three RAILWAY COTTAGE sales between November 2001 and March 2015 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 August 2014 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the March 2015 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
