MERRYDOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mole Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MERRYDOWN sales between November 1998 and July 2020 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 July 2001 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, which was also at 21% below the HPI.
