1 MERLIN WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 MERLIN WAY sales from November 2010 and July 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 November 2010 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it rises to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.
