THE RETREAT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE RETREAT sales between August 1999 and November 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 December 2012 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.
