MERLE WOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERLE WOOD sales from April 2011 and November 2014 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 2011 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.
