THE OLD POLICE HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD POLICE HOUSE sales from March 2001 and July 2005 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 2001 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the July 2005 sale, where it rises to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.
