THE OLD SMITHY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Breckland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE OLD SMITHY sales between December 1995 and April 2021 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 2003 sale was for 78% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 78% above the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it falls to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.
