SOWDEN EDGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three SOWDEN EDGE sales between June 2004 and May 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 2012 sale was for 112% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 112% above the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it rises to 113% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 113% above the HPI.
