THE ORCHARD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE ORCHARD sales from October 2006 and October 2015 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 October 2006 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.
