THE SWALLOWS 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 two THE SWALLOWS sales from April 2013 and June 2017 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 April 2013 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it falls to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.
