TREE TOPS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sunderland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two TREE TOPS sales from July 2016 and January 2022 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 July 2016 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it rises to 42% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% above the HPI.
