1 THE ORCHARD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Surrey Heath local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 THE ORCHARD sales from October 2015 and December 2023 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 October 2015 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
