18 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Surrey Heath local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 18 THE CLOSE sales between March 2007 and September 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 December 2011 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it falls to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.
