The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torfaen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 242 THE HIGHWAY sales from May 2007 and January 2017 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 2007 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.
