HIGH ORCHARD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bath and North East Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGH ORCHARD sales from March 2003 and September 2017 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 March 2003 sale was for 48% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% above the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it rises to 112% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 112% above the HPI.
