SOUTH DOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lichfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SOUTH DOWN sales from June 1997 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 June 1997 sale was for 100% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 100% above the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it falls to 92% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 92% above the HPI.
