THE OLD POST OFFICE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Isle of Wight local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD POST OFFICE sales from August 2007 and September 2014 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 2007 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.
