8 HIGHFIELD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 HIGHFIELD CLOSE sales from December 1998 and April 2012 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 1998 sale was for 59% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 59% above the HPI over time, until the April 2012 sale, where it falls to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.
