TOWER VIEW 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 TOWER VIEW sales from October 2008 and April 2024 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 October 2008 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.
