2 ELM BANK COTTAGES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 ELM BANK COTTAGES sales between March 2001 and May 2015 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 September 2006 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 2 ELM BANK COTTAGES be worth now?
