TORRE HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three TORRE HOUSE sales between April 2002 and June 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 August 2011 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it rises to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.
