THE OLD SMITHY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD SMITHY sales from September 1999 and January 2018 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 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the January 2018 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
