HIGHBANK Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three HIGHBANK sales between March 2011 and October 2018 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 July 2013 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.
