OWL PEN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Trafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OWL PEN sales from June 2000 and November 2014 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 June 2000 sale was for 211% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 211% above the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 341% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 341% above the HPI.
