FOREST LODGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five FOREST LODGE sales between April 1996 and October 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 2009 sale was for 48% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.
