WATERLOO 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 five WATERLOO COTTAGE sales between December 1999 and June 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 July 2008 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the June 2022 sale, where it rises to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.
