25 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 25 MERLIN WAY sales from April 2002 and March 2021 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 2002 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
