19 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 two 19 THE CLOSE sales from April 2004 and February 2007 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 April 2004 sale was for 54% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% below the HPI over time, until the February 2007 sale, where it falls to 60% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% below the HPI.
