2 THE LEA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Northumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 THE LEA sales between February 1998 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 May 2022 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it falls to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.
