5 STRAW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tandridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 STRAW CLOSE sales between June 1997 and June 2018 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 December 2003 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.
