THE LAURELS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE LAURELS sales between June 1998 and May 2024 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 December 2003 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.
