THE CASTLE 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 five THE CASTLE sales between July 1998 and June 2024 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 August 2020 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it rises to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.
