12 HELSTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 HELSTON CLOSE sales from August 2011 and October 2012 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 2011 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might 12 HELSTON CLOSE be worth now?
