RYCOTE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three RYCOTE sales between February 1996 and July 2015 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 October 2002 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.
