THE ORCHARD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mole Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE ORCHARD sales from June 1999 and April 2019 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 June 1999 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the April 2019 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.
