ASHLEA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Preston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four ASHLEA sales between January 2003 and November 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 May 2008 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
