LAUREL HOUSE 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 two LAUREL HOUSE sales from June 2016 and January 2023 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 June 2016 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.
