14 THE CLOSE 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 four 14 THE CLOSE sales between December 2009 and October 2020 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 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.
