20 LOWCROFT DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Oadby and Wigston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 20 LOWCROFT DRIVE sales between December 1995 and October 2014 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 December 2009 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 20 LOWCROFT DRIVE be worth now?
