1 THE DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 THE DRIVE sales between May 1995 and February 2022 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 August 2005 sale was for 112% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 112% above the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it falls to 67% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 67% above the HPI.
