THE FOLLY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swindon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FOLLY sales between March 2001 and September 2013 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 2007 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.
