THE FERNS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE FERNS sales between November 1999 and May 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 March 2012 sale was for 102% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 102% above the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it falls to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.
