THE FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bath and North East Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FORGE sales between December 2007 and October 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 October 2013 sale was for 67% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 67% above the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.
