12 ORCHID CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Melton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 ORCHID CLOSE sales from November 2002 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 2002 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 12 ORCHID CLOSE be worth now?
