FIRS GLEN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Powys local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FIRS GLEN sales between October 1997 and December 2016 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 2002 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
