THE BRIARS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE BRIARS sales between September 2007 and January 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 October 2015 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it rises to 73% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 73% above the HPI.
