THISTLEDOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Horsham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THISTLEDOWN sales from August 1997 and March 2016 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 August 1997 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
