UNICORN 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 three UNICORN COTTAGE sales between November 2003 and August 2020 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 April 2017 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.
