TWIN FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two TWIN FIRS sales from May 2005 and April 2018 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 May 2005 sale was for 72% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 72% below the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it rises to 52% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% below the HPI.
