SARUM Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Herefordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SARUM sales from June 1998 and September 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 June 1998 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.
