20 MELFORT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swindon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 20 MELFORT CLOSE sales from April 1996 and January 2007 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 April 1996 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the January 2007 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
