3 LAPWING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 LAPWING CLOSE sales from December 2006 and March 2017 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 2006 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.
