4 BRETTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sunderland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 BRETTON CLOSE sales between October 2012 and February 2016 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 2014 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it rises to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.
