The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 12 MERLEY DRIVE sales between March 2000 and August 2019 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 2005 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.
