The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Leicester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 2 BARKFORD CLOSE sales between September 2001 and March 2024 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the January 2012 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI.
