THE TRAP HOUSE 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 TRAP HOUSE sales between October 1998 and October 2017 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 2016 sale was for 52% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% below the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it rises to 50% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% below the HPI.
