3 HERBERT HUMAN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 HERBERT HUMAN CLOSE sales from May 1999 and April 2013 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 May 1999 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the April 2013 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
