THE SMITHY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Malvern Hills local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE SMITHY sales between August 2005 and October 2014 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 2011 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.
