THE FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lichfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FORGE sales between August 1998 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 November 2003 sale was for 102% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 102% above the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it rises to 128% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 128% above the HPI.
