BEECHBANK 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 three BEECHBANK sales between July 1995 and January 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 September 2003 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it falls to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.
