THE FOLLY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE FOLLY sales from November 2002 and February 2017 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 November 2002 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the February 2017 sale, where it rises to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.
