HIGHVIEW Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGHVIEW sales from July 2005 and November 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 July 2005 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it rises to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.
