28 MELROSE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Southampton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 28 MELROSE ROAD sales from December 1998 and June 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 1998 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the June 2014 sale, which was also at 49% above the HPI.
