HIGHCROFT 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 HIGHCROFT sales between September 1999 and May 2014 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 December 2011 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, which was also at 14% below the HPI.
