BEECH WOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bath and North East Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BEECH WOOD sales between January 2000 and December 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 January 2004 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it rises to 144% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 144% above the HPI.
