BRIAR HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BRIAR HOUSE sales between June 1999 and December 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 October 2003 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the December 2010 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.
