24 OSPREY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 24 OSPREY CLOSE sales between May 2002 and September 2020 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 2006 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI.
