SIMPKIN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four SIMPKIN sales between July 2000 and April 2016 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 2004 sale was for 53% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% below the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it falls to 62% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% below the HPI.
