5 BEC CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 BEC CLOSE sales from May 2002 and October 2014 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 2002 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.
