MERRYWOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MERRYWOOD sales between February 2003 and January 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 January 2006 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it rises to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.
