THE FORGE 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 two THE FORGE sales from April 2002 and November 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 April 2002 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 47% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% above the HPI.
