The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 BENSON DRIVE sales between November 2002 and January 2014 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the July 2005 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the January 2014 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI.
