FAR NOOK Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five FAR NOOK sales between March 1999 and June 2015 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 2009 sale was for 135% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 135% above the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it rises to 151% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 151% above the HPI.
