THE RETREAT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Test Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE RETREAT sales between November 1995 and June 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 May 2010 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it rises to 80% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 80% above the HPI.
