XANADU Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two XANADU sales from February 1999 and February 2004 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 February 1999 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the February 2004 sale, where it rises to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.
