LONGHEDGE 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 LONGHEDGE sales between March 1997 and August 2002 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 November 1999 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the August 2002 sale, where it falls to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.
