MERICOURT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Preston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERICOURT sales from July 2003 and August 2021 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 July 2003 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.
