1A THE STRAND Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 1A THE STRAND sales between February 1997 and August 2009 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 February 2008 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.
