PORTLIGHT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four PORTLIGHT sales between November 1996 and November 2012 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 August 2002 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it rises to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.
