THE CROFT 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 two THE CROFT sales from June 1997 and September 2015 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 1997 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.
