BOWERMEAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BOWERMEAD sales from June 1995 and July 2018 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 June 1995 sale was for 130% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 130% above the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it rises to 135% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 135% above the HPI.
