SYKEFOLD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SYKEFOLD sales from October 2002 and July 2012 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 182% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 182% above the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it falls to 159% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 159% above the HPI.
