9 THE ORCHARD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Surrey Heath local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 9 THE ORCHARD sales between January 1997 and February 2022 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 October 2005 sale was for 52% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% below the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it falls to 57% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% below the HPI.
