39 MERRYBENT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Darlington local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 39 MERRYBENT sales from August 2012 and June 2018 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 2012 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.
