OLD LEWIS ARMS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Caerphilly local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three OLD LEWIS ARMS sales between September 2006 and March 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 2017 sale was for 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.
