1 MERLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 MERLIN CLOSE sales between October 1997 and June 2019 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 2001 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the June 2019 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
