LITTLE THATCH 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 LITTLE THATCH sales between July 2005 and September 2018 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 August 2017 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the September 2018 sale, where it falls to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.
