POST OFFICE HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four POST OFFICE HOUSE sales between March 2000 and November 2020 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 December 2017 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it falls to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.
