SHAW COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Kirklees local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SHAW COTTAGE sales from September 1996 and February 2018 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 1996 sale was for 90% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 90% above the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.
