WREN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Leeds local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four WREN COTTAGE sales between May 1998 and March 2023 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 May 2015 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it rises to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
