1 LAPWING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Leicester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 LAPWING CLOSE sales from January 1995 and October 1995 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 1995 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the October 1995 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 1 LAPWING CLOSE be worth now?
