HIGHER COMBE 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 four HIGHER COMBE sales between August 1995 and January 2024 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 September 2011 sale was for 75% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 75% above the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it falls to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.
