THE BEACON Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE BEACON sales between March 2005 and December 2013 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 February 2011 sale was for 85% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 85% above the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it falls to 70% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 70% above the HPI.
