4 ORWELL DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 ORWELL DRIVE sales from May 2002 and November 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 May 2002 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it falls to 49% below the HPI.
