THE COTTAGE 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 THE COTTAGE sales from December 2013 and February 2022 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 2013 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it rises to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.
