THE ENGINE HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Derbyshire Dales local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE ENGINE HOUSE sales from April 2004 and April 2006 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 April 2004 sale was for 45% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% above the HPI over time, until the April 2006 sale, where it rises to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.
