LINUS 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 three LINUS sales between January 2009 and June 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 January 2021 sale was for 105% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 105% above the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it falls to 74% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 74% above the HPI.
