21 MERLIN WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 21 MERLIN WAY sales from October 1995 and December 2001 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 1995 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the December 2001 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.
