THE WOOD 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 WOOD sales from November 1999 and December 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 November 1999 sale was for 440% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 440% above the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it falls to 369% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 369% above the HPI.
