TOWER HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two TOWER HOUSE sales from November 1997 and February 2014 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 November 1997 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the February 2014 sale, where it rises to 62% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% above the HPI.
