MERRYDOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Monmouthshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERRYDOWN sales from April 1996 and October 2016 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 1996 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
