BLACK FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Newcastle-under-Lyme local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BLACK FIRS sales between January 1996 and July 2017 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 October 2012 sale was for 150% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 150% above the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it rises to 167% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 167% above the HPI.
