LEACROFT 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 LEACROFT sales from October 2004 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 October 2004 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it rises to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
