FIRCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reigate and Banstead local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FIRCROFT sales from June 1996 and January 2007 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 1996 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the January 2007 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.
