BENNETTS CASTLE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mole Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BENNETTS CASTLE sales between July 1998 and February 2010 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 April 2005 sale was for 91% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 91% below the HPI over time, until the February 2010 sale, where it rises to 90% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 90% below the HPI.
