2 THE LYNX Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 THE LYNX sales between August 1999 and July 2018 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 October 2003 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.
