MERCHISTOUN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERCHISTOUN sales from February 1998 and July 2015 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 February 1998 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it rises to 82% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 82% above the HPI.
