THE OLD FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD FORGE sales from July 2004 and April 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 July 2004 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.
