LONGCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LONGCROFT sales between July 2006 and January 2021 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 March 2010 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.
