THE BOWER Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Kirklees local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE BOWER sales between October 2003 and December 2017 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 2006 sale was for 61% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 61% above the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it rises to 90% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 90% above the HPI.
