BENHAMS 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 two BENHAMS sales from March 1996 and February 2016 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 March 1996 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
