THE SHIELING 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 two THE SHIELING sales from December 1999 and December 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 December 1999 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it rises to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.
