17 FIRSDOWN ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 17 FIRSDOWN ROAD sales between January 1995 and September 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 August 1997 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 17 FIRSDOWN ROAD be worth now?
