THE OLD POST OFFICE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD POST OFFICE sales from February 1998 and November 2003 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 February 1998 sale was for 58% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% below the HPI over time, until the November 2003 sale, where it rises to 57% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% below the HPI.
