253 IDLE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bradford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 253 IDLE ROAD sales between September 2003 and April 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 June 2007 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, which was also at 23% below the HPI.
