5 THE SQUARE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Yorkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 THE SQUARE sales between December 1999 and June 2017 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 2006 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
