5 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 THE CLOSE sales from September 1995 and December 1996 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 September 1995 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the December 1996 sale, where it rises to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.
