THE ALCOVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE ALCOVE sales between October 1996 and October 2022 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 2021 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
