LONGDYKE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Guildford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LONGDYKE sales from April 2000 and March 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 April 2000 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it falls to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.
