MERRYTHOUGHT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERRYTHOUGHT sales from October 2003 and April 2014 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 October 2003 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it rises to 115% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 115% above the HPI.
