The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 44 FOREST ROAD sales from April 2000 and April 2024 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 2000 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.
