THE NEEDLES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Hams local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE NEEDLES sales from September 1999 and January 2016 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 September 1999 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it rises to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.
