1 MERLEY GATE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Northumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 MERLEY GATE sales between August 1997 and August 2019 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 August 2002 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.
