159 LAKE ROAD WEST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cardiff local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 159 LAKE ROAD WEST sales from November 2003 and February 2017 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 2003 sale was for 265% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 265% above the HPI over time, until the February 2017 sale, where it rises to 294% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 294% above the HPI.

What might 159 LAKE ROAD WEST be worth now?
