THE SOUND HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE SOUND HOUSE sales between June 2002 and April 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 September 2008 sale was for 95% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 95% above the HPI over time, until the April 2015 sale, where it rises to 122% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 122% above the HPI.
