278 LONGRIDGE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Preston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 278 LONGRIDGE ROAD sales from September 1998 and June 2001 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 September 1998 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the June 2001 sale, where it rises to 68% above the HPI.
