THE SHIRES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE SHIRES sales between May 2004 and September 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 January 2019 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.
