THE LAURELS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the County Durham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE LAURELS sales from March 2016 and August 2020 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 March 2016 sale was for 186% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 186% above the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it rises to 304% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 304% above the HPI.
