8 GOVER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 GOVER CLOSE sales between November 1998 and March 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 March 2014 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.
