RIVENDELL Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three RIVENDELL sales between October 2001 and March 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 August 2015 sale was for 59% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 59% above the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it rises to 124% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 124% above the HPI.
