30 LEAFIELD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Gateshead local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 30 LEAFIELD CLOSE sales between September 2004 and February 2019 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 2007 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the February 2019 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 30 LEAFIELD CLOSE be worth now?
