ANCIENT LIGHTS 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 four ANCIENT LIGHTS sales between November 1999 and June 2015 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 2012 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.
