17 RUMSEY DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 17 RUMSEY DRIVE sales between June 2001 and March 2021 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 March 2014 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks in line HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, which was also at roughly the same level as the HPI.

What might 17 RUMSEY DRIVE be worth now?
