8 THE DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 THE DRIVE sales between January 1995 and December 2019 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 2013 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 71% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 71% above the HPI.
