1 WESTGATE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Leeds local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 WESTGATE CLOSE sales from November 1997 and May 2013 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 1997 sale was for 60% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% below the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.
