The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swindon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 31 BENWELL CLOSE sales between July 1995 and July 2007 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 August 2006 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the July 2007 sale, which was also at 43% below the HPI.
