THE LAURELS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Solihull local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE LAURELS sales between January 1997 and November 2007 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 May 2002 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the November 2007 sale, where it rises to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.
