3 BACKWOODS LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 BACKWOODS LANE sales between May 2000 and March 2004 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 October 2001 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the March 2004 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 3 BACKWOODS LANE be worth now?
