THE WICKETS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The four THE WICKETS sales between November 2001 and August 2019 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 2013 sale was for 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.
