THE OLD BELL 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 two THE OLD BELL sales from August 1997 and May 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 August 1997 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.
