THE OLD 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 three THE OLD FORGE sales between September 1998 and November 2010 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 January 2005 sale was for 185% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 185% above the HPI over time, until the November 2010 sale, where it falls to 154% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 154% above the HPI.
