FOLLY HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four FOLLY HOUSE sales between September 2003 and January 2022 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 2018 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it rises to 126% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 126% above the HPI.
